[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 113112, member: 3949"] I don't KNOW obviously, but the boehmei look like possible baumgarteni hybrids and the smithi have awfully defined knee patches like auratum. There's a member on AB who is like the boehmei/baumgarteni police, and I bet he'd flag those. Unfortunately a lot of hobby stock is like that. As for the smithi/hamorii, here are some pics (not mine) of smithi showing how the patches are sort of softly defined, smudging into the black and with a thick yellow band at the bottom: [url]https://www.flickr.com/photos/siegfriedtremel/5008071000/in/photostream/[/url] [url]http://mytarantism.blogspot.com/2012/09/genus-brachypelma.html[/url] I just googled that, but the spider is on a mirror so you can see the soft fade from underneath on the second one. Also you can see that the red goes to the top without that little triangle of black that auratum have. Here are some spiders that look like a sort of mix, with the thicker yellow of the smithi and the crisp edge to the red of the auratum. Again, these aren't my pictures and it's just my opinion: [url]http://www.terrarium.com.pl/196-brachypelma-smithi-ptasznik-czerwonokolanowy/[/url] [url]http://www.exotic-animals.org/pajki/opis_vrst/brachypelma_smithi/index01_en.htm[/url] I'd say that the male smithi looks great but the female smithi pictured isn't as blurry as I like my smithis. She's not as bad as the ones I linked, though. Austin's auratum above is a beeeeeautiful example of the species, with very little yellow and crisp red. I want her. Now. It's possible there is just some natural variance, and some have speculated that B. baumgarteni is a naturally occurring hybrid between boehmei and smithi. I don't really know. I just am jumpy about hybrids. At this point it probably doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
