The only ones you see over here available are the Geniculata obviously, (need another my 2" died before xmas) and the Brocklehursti which is virtually the same. Your Chacoana's cute too, nothing like the genus more of a brown Seemanni, (prob why I like it ) .

Brockelhursti are actually pretty hard to come by here lol

£30 for a juvie female, (3.5 - 4cm body length) over here, just depends who's breeding what at the time I suppose.

I have MM now. Noone seems to be interested in breeding the species. I cant give this guy away.

If I had a girl I'd be all over it.

There is some stunners on this thread. I might start looking at different species when I go shopping instead of just looking for rosies and red knees.

Couldn't resist posting...I looooove A. geniculata! Here's my baby. I've been kicking myself cause he's about 2.25" and I still can't determine the sex. He can't molt fast enough, ha ha.

Sorry the pics are awfully dark, the lighting in my room isn't great.

For all the people who keep these: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/sho...MARCH-2014-Release-no-more-brocklehursti-READ!

Seems brocklehursti has been synonymized and is no longer a valid species.
Sorry for the link to another forum, but there is a good discussion there.

Regarding this statement: "I'd like the take home message to be that sometimes pettrade-scientific names ARE completely the wrong scientific names when it comes to what was originally described by that name (and typically have a museum voucher/s) that can and often should be restudied." I think people would be surprised at how relevant it is too many other genera/species...

another spider that we have to call Genus "hobby" species..
Honestly if they ever were separate species I think they're so hybridized in the hobby that it doesn't matter.
