Hamorii or smithi #2
Do I have a hamorii or smithi here? Raised her from a sling for 8 years, 5.5” now, last moulted about a year ago
Smithi has now been been determine to have been hamorii all along. Almost certainly is a hamorii.
 
@Roboto22 The species that was sold in the hobby as smithi is now hamorii, and the species that was sold in the hobby as annitha was determined to be the real smithi.

This is a hamorii though.
 
@Ungoliant No they are different spiders, I though they were B. smithis but seems they are are hamorii. I’ve raised the one above from 2l for 8 years and the one you posted I got a couple of years ago mature
 
That is B. hamorii. Its a bit more difficult to find B. smithi in the pet trade, but you can find them. Here's a video that explains the basic identification differences:
