Needing help identifying my T

[DrearyFate]

I have had my new T sling for about 2 weeks now, I supposedly ordered a Grammostola Pulchra but i am doubting the fact that she is an actual Brazilian Black can anyone help? I can provide pictures and details

 

[DrearyFate]

This is her this morning

 

[DrearyFate]

Noticed webbing around the corner of the enclosure and i dident think grammostola pulchra made that much webbing at all?

 

[Telson]

Amount of webbing is an individual thing, in my experience. And that does look like a very small G pulchra sling It will darken in a few molts.

 

[DrearyFate]

Thank you for the reassurance i have been frequently comparing her to a g. Pulchripes and g. Pulchra slings on google images haha

You'll be able to tell for sure in a few molts like @Telson said. If it's a G. pulchripes you'll begin seeing the leg stripes when reaches about 3/4-1" dls.

it has the classic mirror patch on the abdomen. I agree, it is young grammastola

slings are very hard to identify at that size. If you got it from a reputable breeder you can be sure that they sent you the right species

Looks pulchra to me. Pulchra(many) do indeed web. Mine do a lot, in fact. They especially like to web over their water bowls to spite me

it looks like a grammie, but you cant tell the species just yet. maybe you should research the breeder first next time before buying any spiders.
general rule of buying online is to only trust actual arachnid breeders to send you the right stuff, not reptile dealers.

I am aware the next time around to research beforehand, i definatly will do for my next T im thinking of getting a G. Pulchripes once Lylah gets into her juvenile enclosure

Any suggestions for breeders to buy from guys?
