Brachypelma hamorii; DLS 4"; Molt date 8-1-17

This suspect male - now 4 inches after molt, is growing fast and filling out nicely!
smithi ... I bought this species as smithi . Sellers still list as smithi . Confusing bit sometimes
 
There was a recent name/reclassification of this species from B. smithi to B. hamorii...
 
Yeah often sellers will keep the old names for a really long time because most people still remember that name. I was at Repticon a few months ago and their hamoriis were labelled as smithi. When I told them about the name change they said they knew about it but used the old name for that reason, but then I told them they could've just listed both names and they were like "why the heck didn't we think of that?"
