Suspect G. acteon, Fresh Molt 4-25-16

G. acteon
Another gorgeous tarantula! :) I don't think I've seen this species before.
 
@ErinM31 Thanks! They are the largest of the Grammostola genus. I believe females can reach 8", and I know from a breeder, males can reach 6". They are unlike Rosies. They are very fast, lean in build and VORACIOUS eaters. Females do have a bit of that bulk like NW Brachy AFs, but still are slender. Also, their growth rate is extremely fast.
