Definitely a Psalmopoeus, likely cambridgei, but depending on the size, P irminia look quite similar at smaller sizes.

I think P. cambridgei.

If you're worried that they act fossorial and not arboreal, don't be. Psalmopoeus slings (as well as the majority of slings from other arboreal genera) create web turrets and burrows as slings before gradually getting more arboreal as juveniles. Some individuals take even longer and are more subadult than juvenile before they abandon their burrows. Totally normal behaviour!

Lilith hasn't webbed at all, I was more curious about the fact that's she is so docile and relaxed, and always out on show

Ah, I see. Well, some psalmos are more docile than others. I've raised dozens and produced my own slings as well, and some are just mellow in character. I did notice your substrate looks way too moist, almost wet. Could be she doesn't like that and that's why she hasn't webbed or made a home. I would change the substrate and only moisten half of it if I were you, before it becomes harmful.

I know its to wet, she was only recently put into a plastic tub container as she had escaped her old one that she was shipped with and the condensation has been a nightmare in the tub, I have a proper exo coming next week so hopefully that will sort out the problem

That container is too big right now, your stressing out the sling, it will be almost a year before you can put it in an exo enclouser also.

A little sling like that should be in a 32oz deli cup at most, better to keep it in a large dram vial for a few months.

Okay because I am totally now unconfident with everything my apparent T friend "master" has taught me, I will put each t that I have, the size of them, when they were apparently born, size of exo and substrate type. Please give me as much advice as possible and I will change it all as soon as I can.

I highly recommend you check out this before doing anything else:
It contains most things you need to know as a beginner.

Secondly, the search bar is your friend. Search to your heart's content, and if the search bar isn't helping you, you can always try googling "arachnoboards" + whatever it is that you're wondering and I'm sure a lot of threads will pop up. Care of each species is easiest to find if know the scientific names of your Ts (for example, the sun tiger is Psalmopoeus irminia, OBT is Pterinochilus murinus, etc) + care, but ONLY on Arachnoboards. This is THE place to find good care. Care guides on the rest of the internet are more often than not wrong and could even suggest husbandry that can be dangerous for your T.

Last but not least, I recommend you start a thread in the Tarantula Questions & Discussions forum and ask for advice there if you're still unsure after doing your own research. More people will see it that way. Fair do's warning if you do make a thread: people will give you slaps on the wrist for blindly trusting your friend and not doing your own research before getting these pets, but it's only because they care for these animals and want the best for them, so don't take any criticism like a personal attack. But I do suggest you sit down and read through that first thread and do subsequent searches of (scientific name) + care searches on here before starting a thread asking everyone else to find the info for you. Oh, and if you can't identify the species of T you have, you can post pics of them in the Identification forum/media category.
