That's a T. stirmi, Almost all advertised T. blondi's are actually stirmi's, As blondi's are very hard to come by due to them being more expensive and less hardy then stirmi.

Thanks and yeah that's what I was thinking too so when I saw that at the store I couldn't believe it for that price

Too bad you aren't in Canada. Tarantula Canada has the T. blondi in, but they are very expensive.

It's a T. stirmi. Better looking than blondi IMHO. Gorgeous girl she is

@Tarantula1995 blondi are also very hard to breed and to get a viable sac from.

There's a 5" specimen in a tiny enclosure at my local exotic pet shop for $140. I really want to get it because it looks awesome but I don't really want to mess with those hairs.

@Andy00 as long as you keep a reasonable distance from it you shouldn't have a problem with hairs getting on you

@Andy00, Using gloves and long sleeves when dealing with them is best, If I get UH on me I use tape to get as much off my skin as possible.
