I wouldn´t bet to guess, because a lot of NW Ts look almost the same when lings... But it looks like Lasiodora species to me.

What size is it? Based on this picture alone, all we can really tell you is that it's a NW terrestrial.

Not exactly sure how to tell the size, but to give point of reference that is a small critter keeper and it is facing width of it.

@TheRealRickSanchez Measuring a tarantula varies depending where you're from, but here in the states we generally measure going off of Diagonal Leg Span (DLS) and go by inches. Based on your description, I'd eyeball your T to be around what, ~2.5" DLS?

So I took a ruff measurement and it was close to 2.5 inches.

@TheRealRickSanchez Does the breeder not know what species it is? I'd probably start by asking there.

I asked the breeder and he said here are the possibilities, I know not all the genus names are up to date as well.

Brachypelma Albopilsom
Brachypelma Smithi
Brachypelma Vagans
Grammostola Pulchripes - Chaco
Grammostola Rosea
Marca Cabolca
Nhandu coloratovillosus
Nhandu tripepii
pamphobeteus platyomma
tapinauchenius cupreus

Well i think you can deffinitely rile out the Talinauchenius.
and plattyomma

To be honest ifnit is 2.5” i suspect it is also not B. albo, B. smithi, or G. pulchripes.

I have a B. albo sling and it does not look the same.

Out of that lineup, I'm going to say it's either T. albopilosum or T. vagans. Might need to give it another molt to tell for certain which, as it appears to lack the curly setae of T. albo but isn't sporting the coloration of T. vagans yet either.
