Hi there folks, well, I'm getting back into the hobby after a long lay off, 16 years actually. I had a large collection that I sold to move to the US for work for two years, and after all these years the bug has got me again. Certainly been some changes - earth tigers were the big thing back then, and I was selling Psalmopoeus slings in 35mm film cases out a back pack at the BTS show for 50p each. You could get wild caught Goliath adults for £40, and Pandinus Imperator were available everwhere for a tenner. Some big changes with classification too, Brachypelma would be a good example there.
Anyway, onto my question. I am building my collection back up based on the favourites I had back then, and one of those was the Cyclosternum Fasciatus, now of course renamed to Davus. I have aquired a very nice juvenile, but are there any pointers with regards to identification to ensure I have the right species as these two look incredibly similar.
Many thanks, Mark.
