Yeah ive read all the threads on boehmei/ baumgarteni and others. I've also read a paper stating with certainty that A brocklehursti is just a regional color variant to the geniculata. That one kinda blew my mind, and made me start thinking and looking at different pictures of the same species, seeing small variations in almost every one. It makes sense to me that all tarantulas of a species wont look exactly alike..(molt stage obviously plays a role, but you see what im saying?) I don't really know what to think anymore, except ID the spiders the best you can before pairing them. And yeah that auratum is drool worthy.
