Aphonopelma sp Diamondback

Post molt photoshoot! She (🤞) looks like an actual tarantula now, not a tiny tan sling. Those front legs have a pink look to them, and I can see the shadow of a mask and maybe a triangle on the carapace. I'm curious to see how she'll color up as she ages!
I got her in November 2023, and she was half an inch dls. She's molted thrice since then and is about 2.25in dls now. Pretty good progress for 5 months I'd say.
 
Finally someone posts a picture of this species at this size! I have been waiting for this type of picture for so long now because I was sold spiderlings of this "Diamondback" species back in 2016 and it never obtained the coloration I was expecting. Now I know for sure I was sold a mislabeled species after all of these years.
