I'd say it is a brown phase rose hair.

I'd say you could get an adult rose hair, a new 10 gallon aquarium, substrate, a new water dish, and a new lid for less than $50. If you are really interested, I'd offer no more than $20 for the whole setup. Remember, she has to get rid of it and would probably just pitch the tank if she didn't have the tarantula to deal with.

I thought grammostola too, but why can I see purple and red on the carpace?...my eyes are playing tricks on me....Oh I have no thoughts of paying that much for any grammostola, unless it was a ihering female...

Members of G. rosea have carapaces that tend to reflect a rose color especially noticeable after a molting. After a while, the color reflected seems to dull a bit into a coppery color and then into brown when it is less reflective. The color rose is defined to be the 1/2 way point on the color spectrum between red and magenta (a fancy way of saying pink). I wonder how the species name of rosea was chosen? ;P

that little fella looks just like my G. rosea but i am fairly new so dont take my word for it.
why is there no substrate in there...?

Definitely a Rosea. No contest. No sub though? Poor thing probably has had a terrible life. I'd offer $35, that's what I've seen for G. Rosea + Enclosure (although most of them don't suck as bad as whatever that person has the poor spidey in) Go get that spider and rescue it from it's sad existence!

G. rosea. I'd offer $25 at most. They're moving, they'll probably take what they can get.
