Mystery slings

[enjoy spooders]

Hi all I have a couple of mystery slings, hope someone might be able to identify them..

That's an interesting problem to have.

Just out of curiosity, how did you get slings without knowing where/what they came from? It's not often in the UK that a random tarantula just wanders into the house, is it?

I purchased as mystery slings. 1 without redish colour on abdomen have been told might be an Indian violet, and other been told could be chilean rose. So posted on here to see what other people think.

Interesting! I just always assumed that breeders would mark what they've sent you so you know when you open the package. Never considered that some would just leave it up to you to figure it out. Not sure how I feel about that one, actually.

To be fair. You are looking at an educated guess, at best. Until they get larger & start displaying some adult colours.

That second sling if it is a Chilobrachys Fimbriatus it shouldn't take long to know. The sling I got, from what I can tell from pic, was a bit bigger and was sporting that beautiful striped abdomen already! Only guessing,and big if , a molt or 2 at best. My first impression of the first pic was new worlder but nailing that down would be like already knowing the big lottery # s before the draw. Lol! Happy Spoodering and by all means keep us updated! Nothing like playing guess the Spood!
