I got these B. smithi about a year ago along with some B. boehmi and B. emelia. All year the 3 species have looked almost identical and pretty much colorless. About half way through the last molt cycle they started showing some color but still all looked very similar. One of the smithi finally molted and after a week the colors popped out and it looks very much like a smithi. One of the emilia also molted but the coloration isn't as pronounced.
Anyway after spending a year of looking at colorless blobs they're finally starting to look like tarantulas.
