What type of Tarantula is this?

[lpmartineau]

Hello all,
I was wondering what type of Tarantula this is exactly?
I have a Zebra here at home as well as this one, but they don't look the same, I though this was also a Zebra but has about 50times more hair lol

thanks for the help.

:cool: To me it looks like a Costa Rican zebra black phase but it also looks like maybe a Pink zebra beauty.. Pink zebra beauties have more hair and a slight hint of pink color to the hair..:cool: Nic pic and nice looking T...;)

It is deffinatly not a Sekeleton tarantula Ephebopus murinus is smaller then that...I am thinkin a acanthoscurria species based on the chelicera sice but I will deffinatly need a better pic to help. Blackwidow69 what is the latin name for the Pink Zebra Beauties? I've stoped paying attention to common names lol.

[lpmartineau]

thanks again to everyone who replied

good afternoon

Honestly lpmartinaeu common names are no good they change from one supplier to another. Because what you call a zebra tarantula could very greatly to what I call it but a Aphonopelma seemanni will always be just that.

A top photo would be good I just need a full body shot with better lighting.

:cool: PinkZebra Bauty - Eupalaestrus campestratus... Ive seen P beauties with lighter and darker stripes on the knees let alone variations of the stripping on the kees.. Some P. beauties are darker in body color and some are lighter, some with more hair and some with less and the color of the hair varies also...

This is not my pic but it gives you an idea.. wish i can get it in bigger......

[Colonel SB]

On your E.campestratus Bwidow69 are the ends of the chelicera black or a tan colour?

[Colonel SB]

I've just been on Rick West's site and from the pic you have there I'm gonna say Acanthoscurria fracta or Eupalaestrus campestratus, if you could post a better pic it would help. Or you can go on his site and look for your self but either way let us know.

[lpmartineau]

what is the URL for Rick West's website?
and if you want a better picture to try and identify the type of T this is let me know what kind of picture to take, position/camera angle/ lighting etc just let me know and I will go take a picture

thanks again to everyone to tried to identify her

I think that looks like a Chaco Golden knee (Grammastola Aureostriata)

It COULD be a PZB as well... they look similar to the Chacos.
