Bought this as an unknown Aphonopelma. This picture was taken 17 days after a molt. Carapace and tibias seem to be a bit darker than many chalcodes I've seen in the hobby. What do you all think?
I can't help in this case. I'm not sure that Aphonopelma chalcodes, A. iodius, and A. eutylenum can be identified visually based on color/ pattern since it can vary so much. To my knowledge, the only way the three aforementioned "blonde" species can be told apart is by where they were collected since they have distinct ranges across the southwestern U.S.
