Mystery Black Aphonopelma?

[checkmate]

@Smokehound714 knows Aphonopelmas pretty well, maybe he can ID

Just providing a quick update. "Karl" had his ultimate molt this evening and is now a mature male. Obviously, without a solid ID he is going to remain a bachelor.

I've become convinced that he is likely a Grammostola pulchra.

Aphonopelma johnnycashi?

I had to google that to see if it was real xD Oh man, I kind of want one just because the genus name (Plus I have no Aphonopelma. I was planning on getting one but the one I wanted was sold out by the time I placed an order. )

I've only ever seen them available once in Canada and they had an almost $200 price tag for a tiny spiderling.

Yeah, looks like G. pulchra to me as well.

The one I wanted was definitely a pricier one tho there are some other Aphonopelma I might consider. Stock may change by the time I am ready for my next order. Was going to get a new bunch of slings last week but I ended up rescuing a bunny so I had to let that take priority with the vet expenses etc.
