Chilean Rose Tarantula?

I think this is a Chilean Rose Tarantula, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Any help identifying my new friend is greatly appreciated. Her name is Ino.
That green-esque carapace makes me want to say no, but that could just be your lighting. Almost looks more like a Euathlus sp., (green probably) but I have never worked with a rosehair or Euathlus species. Of you got a euathlus sp., then it is still a great T ;)
 
Your gonna need to put a good bit more substrate in that enclosure. These Ts are somewhat nomadic in the wild and will wander/climb a lot. To prevent an injury from a fall you should have only 1.5x the legspan of the specimen from substrate to the top of its enclosure. Don't want anything bad happening to such a nice little T :)
 
Thank you all so much for your help. I am new with tarantulas and I am open to any and all advice I can get to take proper care of this little one.
 
Basically the same care. 1.5x height than the T to the top, dry sub with a little overflowing of the water dish here and there, and a hide. They LOVE to explore, and some would say you lucked out getting a Euathlus sp over a rosea or porteri ;) Hope it is a she and does well for you :D
