Ever notice how tarantulas of the same genera and species can have slight variations dependent on locale or just molt cycle? Now add in these controlled hybrids. Hundreds of unidentifiable tarantulas in the hobby. Sooner or later...actually no, just soon the unidentifiable become misidentified...
there's a lot of debate whether it is or isn't a variation of smithi. I personally think it's a different sp, and no hasn't been reclassified "annitha" is still valid
It's just a personal preference Alyeska. I'm not suggestingthat he does anything underhanded, or will "screw" anyone. I personally just prefer not to deal with him. If you'd like to pm me, we can talk about it, but it's nothing that needs to be made public.
I'm sorry to hear that Tricia. Please don't let one bad egg spoil the entire hobby for you, like with any hobby, we have our share of bad guys, but we have plenty of good guys as well...
