Are the hairy knees fooling you? The long setae aren't quite as long as the ones on the lower legs. Stirmi have them until they're bigger than your specimen. In your slide show it also looks like the front 4 feet are a bit pinker than the rest. The higher carapace and large fangs also indicate stirmi.
It's about 5 inches right now... the website said Theraphosa sp. so i already assumed Stirmi especially at the price. Thanks for the fast reply.. A guy at the pet shop honestly got me on this binge of trying to identify. I had no idea there were other goliaths out there.
