Please ID or help me get closer

This T was dropped off at a local pet shop after it had bitten the previous owner. My money is on a Chilobrachys species. I am hopeful some of the experts on here can confirm or venture a guess on the species if indeed a Chilobrachys.
There's not a way to ID this tarantula 100% with just simple pictures to be honest. So you're basically just stuck with some Asian tarantula for now with a bunch of guesses and maybe's. A lot of Asian tarantulas look alike and many species cannot simply be identified apart without a taxonomists or an expert in the field.

I hear you, I know it's a shot in the dark..I will however be taking the T to an "expert" this weekend to find out for sure :) wouldn't want to try a pairing in the future with a maybe guess on the T
 
Just in case anybody is interested, the person I contacted for a visit and ID this weekend has told me this is a sp. Cambodia Blue. The kids parents apparently phoned him and told him he sold them an aggressive T...They were trying to handle a Chilobrachys...:banghead: That being said he is the foremost supplier of T's in my area and should have assessed the situation before selling the T, money is money I guess.
 
I wonder if it would be inappropriate to phone the parents and ask them about the kids symptoms :rofl: I have heard their venom is quite strong? (Can anyone confirm)
