Is it advisable to be mixing light form and dark form?

Not worth stressing her out by carting her around Gauteng for a photo. And forcing her out for a few pictures. If she doesnt like the light, its probably better to give her her privacy, hey?
As for the light form and dark form, they are the same species, so I dont see any problem with it. If I do get a few out, I will probably keep most of them any way.

Agreed, I too would not stress her out if she were mated but I'm talking about offering over 6 months ago

And as for the lowland and highland forms, I'm guessing they're slightly different in some way if they occur in different places.... Will it not result in the same mess as there is with avics?

edited: either way, the offer still stands but I will be photographing another one in the near future for good pics for the Tarantupedia

Even though she wasn't mated then, its still not worth stressing her out for no reason by carting her around in a hot car.
People crossing Avics are totally different to breeding the same species. Both light form and dark form have been recorded from the same eggcase in any way.
If I were to sell any, the buyers would be told that they are 2 'colour forms'.

I wonder if those were captive bred and possibly mated the same way with a light and dark form male/female or are there recorded instances of both forms in wild bred egg-sacs?

Well I for one would looooove to know wether the Avicularia sp 'Brazil Amazon Purple' is the real thing or if infact there is a difference between mine and an Avicularia sp "Peru Purple'????
