UUugh! Okay, so I have this new Avicularia Metallica but I just realized that under the Latin name it say Goliath pink toe which at first I thought was another common name but I started researching and I found out that there is a species that goes by the common name of Goliath pink toe and the Latin name for that particular T is avicularia braunshauseni. Here is the kicker! As it pertains to google both species look very similar when young. That's frustrating.
Thanks for the pick!! my buddy set me up with a few starter hissing roaches. Ish hopeing they get a good colony going so they can go to her. But since ill have extra I may be getting a bearded dragon lol

I'm not understanding. You purchased a metallica and they gave you a braunshauseni?
When dealing with Ts, I would always go with the scientific name over a common name.

I'm not sure if hissers make great feeders (for Ts or Dragons) Their shell is much harder than a very soft dubia.
I would look into that before you go that route for sure. If you do get a colony going, I would trade a few roaches so I could have a few Hissers as pets.
