Hi, I wanted to see if anyone on here knows anything about Venezuelan sun tigers. I got a tarantula from someone who said this is what kind it was. It is obvious that she is an arboreal of some sort, but I am not sure if it's the sun tiger because, her legs are completely black, with no orange on them. She is basically a black spider with some dark brown striping on the rump. Could this still be a sun tiger, or something else?

To know better it would help if you posted a picture. Also how big is it? Sometimes with juvenile or slings they have different patterns or colors then they do as an adult. The only way to know for sure is to get a picture.

Are you familiar enough with T's to know for sure its a arboreal I don't see someone just giving a Sun tiger away although its possible so you never know.  The description isn't very revealing I have a Haplopelma sp vietnam that matches that perfectly lol so I would agree you need pics to make a positive ID.
