Went to buy dog food at petco and as always I like to look at the critters. Noticed they had a T just hanging out next to the lizards. Was labeled "Mexican Red Rump".. went ahead and bought the guy as staff were saying it's been around for 5 months.

Anyways was looking at photos online and it doesn't match anything I've found regarding red rumps. Any ideas?

My guess is A. metallica? They were waaaay off with "mexican red rump."

Good find. Read up on proper care and enjoy it!

Not even close to a "mexican red rump" what were they asking for it?

Definitely an Avic so you've got yourself a bargain by the sounds of it.

Guess since they have red hairs on the abdomen they consider it a red rump lol still a good deal though, Avics are always fun.

I was gonna say lucky to see a red rump at a petco, atleast around here. I read people spot different Ts at big name pet shops from time to time but I only see rose hairs and pink toes. I did buy my A.seemanni from a Petland but that was the only thing different I've ever seen at a store like that.

looks like an avicularia versicolour to me, I'm not an expert though. Good find if it is

i think it's too dark for a versicolor, i'd agree with the metallica.

But doesnt red setaes mean that its an avicularia avicularia?

 

[kormath]

not really familiar with avic avic other than what i've seen here. I raised a versicolor, it's not colored right for that one, looked into getting a metallica for my son. I could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me.

I am having the hardest time distinguishing the differences. Everyone tells me the red setaes means an avic avic and the silver means an avic metallica yet have been unable to identify if mine is even an avic avic or an avic metallica. Quite frustrating.

Could it be an Caribena laeta (formely Avicularia laeta)? Mine went through a similar colour phase at around 6th instar.

Recently molted, will post a picture soon. I believe there was an issue because I only count 7 legs after molt
