Chaco Golden Knee or nah?

She was sold to us as a Grammostola pulchripes but we have our doubts

She is skittish (but not a teleporter) heavy webber and very fluffy with almost blondish hair
Not even close. There are no urticating hairs, so that could very well be an old world spiderling.
 
Pulcrhipes Slings are never that monochromatic either. As slings they are reddish amber with a dark opithsoma. By the time they get to that size they are showing signs of their classic color

So I was right after all... Good thing they sold it to us that are experienced with OW... If they had sold it to a beginner 🙄
 
the dot on the carapace makes me wonder if it is a horned T? (darlingi, marshalli..)
 
it looks more like a marshalli sling of the two (still could be either) Yeah, they are lots of fun. Give it lots of substrate and see if it digs
