B. Smithi or B. Hamorii?

Ignore her sleepy neighbor
Jeez, where are my manners.!? Like above, you have a great score! In the Brachypelma emilia (Mexican painted leg). If life isn't in the way and what not, you can bet I have an emilia! Its really a must if you like the redlegs.
Were you hoping it was hamorii or smithi? Like above, nobody wants to be sold something that ends up being something else.

This mix up is a win.
 
Lol thanks everyone for the id. I honestly had no clue what she was but she was sold as a Mexican red-knee so I assumed smithi or hamorii. I don’t really mind what species she is I was just curious. I found her at petsmart of all places (I now know that was probably not the best place but oh well.) I’ve had her for over a year now.
 
Absolutely, what The Spider House said. Brachypelma is my business and TSH is very accomplished. If you have some photos of it from above so we can see legs and carapace that would be awesome.
Unfortunately I seem to be unable to post a picture in this part of the forums, but I dug up an old photo of her (because I don’t want to try to pull her out of her massive burrow and she rarely surfaces) and I do see the black triangle on the front of her carapace.
