Looks like verdezi to me

Albiceps?

The carapace is not light enough imo...

I was the only 1 that said that was just a quick guess Bud I don't own any brachys

As you say it may be a B. Verdezi. But truth be told, there's been a lot o hybridization between Brachypelma spp. There are minimal differences between B. kahlenbergi, vagans and even verdezi. The only thing I can assure you, is that it isn't a B. schroederi because those are completely black

Thanks for the reply all. She’s originally labeled as B albiceps. But upon receiving her I doubt it’s b albiceps.


But here’s 3 B schroederi juvies for comparison.

I’m gonna try get spermathecae pic from her last molt. Hopefully she didn’t rip it apart
