Yea. Bought a few T's off someone. He sent me a freebie, and it was supposedly gonna b a P cancerides( Haitian brown). I got it and was like, "ummmm, that's not a P cancerides". Lol. I figured either P irmina OR P cambridgei. Either way it's NOT a cancerides. Kinda big difference, since its a matter of terrestrial or arboreal. Lol

I didn't think about campbridgei..I've actually never seen or owned a campbridgei sling, you could be right, they may look very similar as slings..definitely a Psalmo though. Yeah, he messed up on that one...I wouldn't blame the guy though, probably an honest mistake/ typo or whatever..I do the same thing sometimes when I talk about them.
I recently was telling someone about my A geniculata sling and called it an N chromatus I don't even own a chromatus..

Nah not mad. I like it better than a P cancerides. I think he must've marked them wrong tho. Many of his messages to me say cancerides, as well as the vial it came in. I messaged him saying I'm not mad or anything, but he should figure it out, in case he's selling them as p cancerides.

It's almost like the irminia is a negative of the campbridgei..I don't know why but I've been looking back and forth at the two slings for ten minutes...lol

I've been doing the same. I'd still go with my first thought - P. irminia.

The guy who sold it to me said he had a brain fart n didn't realize he wrote cancerides. He bred these and these slings are def 100% cambridgei. Lol. We were all kinda wrong n kinda right.

My irminia actually made a diagonal web from a tunnel in the substrate that a few months later stretched to the top of her plant. She's a juvie now, but still does basically the same thing, only she utilizes the whole plant. I just had the fastest handling session ever, lol, I was trying to get a pic of her and then a whole pic of the webbed up plant, she came out, very quickly, ran onto my hand and darted back in..startled me... so you only get this pic for now. that's actually webbed up plant coming up the enclosure in the middle.

Lol. That is awesome. They are beauties. I took mine out to fix the enclosure and held it and let it run around my arm. They are fast!!! It's only just over 1" now but amazing. Can't wait for it to grow.
