Theraphosa stirmi

My adult female Theraphosa stirmi
@Flexzone Interesting. Thanks for pointing it out. Isn't the first time I've experienced a pet store mislabel a tarantula. I never knew the subtle differences between the two until I googled it now. Already learning something knew from this site.
 
Most any petstore will name a Goliath a blondi. It's nothing new so don't feel bad unless you paid blondi price. In which case I would be talking to said shop's owner.
 
I agree with @Flexzone they are a great genus and they pretty much only differ slightly in appearences. Nowhere else really. Size, and behavior, typically are the same for the three members of the genus. A nice addition to any collection.
