Do you know if it's a male or female? If I'm seeing correctly, it looks very close to a molt (looks like there's a pitch black bald patch). If it's female, a clear photo of the spermathecae would be very helpful for narrowing down what it is

I’m guessing it’s a female—haven’t been able to get a ventral shot to check between the booklungs, but her general shape and body:legs ratio seem to be female, in my limited experience with terrestrial Mexican and South American tarantula species.
I’ll definitely be posting pics when she molts—hopefully proving she’s a girl, and also potentially clarifying and/or pinpointing her species.
