Hi Niel, the problem with slings is that they don't quite have the coloration's they have when slightly bigger. It's also very risky to identify T's on just their looks and colors. That said, lets see what I am quite sure of :
1. Wouldn't guess at this stage
2.Brachypelma smithi, (Mexican redknee) The whole knee is light orange/red, where as the flameknee (Brachypelma auratum) would have a distinct red (flame) in the lighter color only on the extremity of the knee. Then again, it hasn't developed the coloration of an adult yet.
3.Brachypelma vagans. still small and should darken up on next few molts.
4.Looks like a Grammstola pulchrypes to me too ( Chaco golden knee)
5. Brachypelma vagans again. The light carapace, dark legs which are grey from the knee down. Will turm nice and black with next molt.
6. This is the hardest one, I'm thinking Lasiodora klugi ( Bahia scarlet birdeater )

Let's see what the other forum members think. ;)

Thought I'd take a stab at the first one and say Grammastola rosea. ( Chilian rose ) :huh:

These are my suggestions, what I can see from my phones screen .

2. Red Knee (B.smithi)
3. Curly hair (B.ablopilosum)
4. Choco (G. pulchripes ) needs to harden up and another photo taken.
5. Curly hair (B.ablopilosum)

Hi Deon,

These T's are sized 4cm and bigger, the biggest is about 7 cm, are they still classified as slings? (Just for interest sake)

One of these spiders he said was a Dificilis, how true this is I dont know, would be a shame if there is 2 Curly's in this batch, but then again i dont mind.

Hi Niel, still slings , but juvies soon. Jake could be right with the Curly's no2 and 4, but those two are definitely the same. The last one may be your Lasiodora difficilis (flame rump), although it will only show in time. At the moment looks like klugi to me, but then they're both Lasiodoras, so they do look the same at the moment.

Two curly's may give you a male and female and then you can try breeding by the time they're ready, you will have enough experience to give it a try. Curly's are great T's, grow big quickly and eat like pigs. They don't burrow and hide too much and "look the part" , like original tarantulas,when no-one knew there were different types, as many people still think today.
