Hey guys..was sold this sling in april..its was 3/4 in at the time..was sold as a b smithi..but i have no idea what it really is..thought mabe vagans but its head is reddish..any help would be greatly appreciated..its now about 3 in
Definitely not B. smithi nor B. albopilosum (it would have very distinctive colors by now if it were the former or longer prominent white/pink hairs if it were the latter). Could it be an Aphonopelma? The general body style and coloring look right to me but I am definitely still a newb.
 
Whatever it is, it's in heavy premolt. Please leave it alone in it's enclosure and allow it to molt. Ensure it has a full, clean water dish at all times.
 
No way top tell for sure right now...other than the fact that it isn't what it was sold as.

On another note, please refrain from handling ts that are heavy pre-molt, its just not a smart thing to do.
 
Please let it be in its enclosure..a short distance fall, heck, even if it trips itself,will cause a dead sling. :(
