P.regalis sub adult ?

[Logan D]

This p.regalis doesnt really look like one just curious what everyone elses thoughts are

 

[MassExodus]

I got mine as a young adult, but she doesn't look like that. Maybe its the lighting..

 

[Logan D]

This was after a fresh molt as well

 

[Logan D]

And here's pictures of her underside where the white band is not shown so I'm wondering if maybe shes a hybrid she was bought from a pet store ans they had her labeled as a regalis

 

[MassExodus]

You are correct, no band, not a regalis. Maybe a ghost ornamental? There's better people to ask, I never really caught poeci fever. Someone here will have an answer for you though.

Thats male Poecilotheria striata*

 

[MassExodus]

Ha! I knew a poecimon master would wander by..

 

[KezyGLA]

Infact. It could still be regalis but the dorsal pic is throwing me off. It is definitely male though. Either striata or regalis.

No abdomen band though..

Yeah that's what I thought it looks like a regalis but it doesnt are you sure its a Male here is a picture of the molt

 

[Logan D]

Here's a picture from this morning

 

[MassExodus]

Not a regalis.

 

[Arachnoclown]

Heres my Poecilotheria striata to match markings....

 

[KezyGLA]

No abdomen band though..

Yeah If a subadult male then the dimorphism could mean the band is a lot less prominant.

 

[KezyGLA]

I’m sure it’s male from the ventral shot you posted.

 

[MassExodus]

There's no band at all. Not a regalis It's the only thing I'm sure of in this thread. There's not even a hint of one. That is not a regalis. It may be a tricky hybrid, or some other sp., but it is not a regalis.

 

[Logan D]

Here's another picture of him/her stickystien says the flap is there that makes it a female

 

[Logan D]

Another picture he sent me

 

[MassExodus]

Cant tell if it's female from the pic..but that spider is NOT a regalis. Ive looked at my female, a perfect specimen of the sp., enough times to be sure. Every regalis has an abdominal band, and the color is off..way off. When looking at a regalis, you see a very distinct black/grey/white coloration, not as much hair, and a very wide, very distinct flesh colored band on the abdomen.

I honestly believe it's a hybrid it was bought from a pet store so I would not doubt it
