I purchased this beauty as an A Chalcodes, but someone said it looks more like a Gabeli. Wanted to ask opinions!
Beautiful t n yes looks more like the gabeli to me 😊 you'll need to check the spermatheca on a moult to be sure though... assuming she's a she n not a he lol
 
I'm thinking male, but I am terrible about ventral sexing lol! I am not too sure how to tell the difference between a Gabeli and a Chalcodes via molt either lol!
 
it could also be A iodius or possibly eutylenum as well.The iodius I had 2 the show this weekend look just like yours, just a dingier chalcodes.

Google the sp then write female moult eg aphonopelma gabeli female moult and you will get pics back so you can compare to yours if she's a he then your knackered because you can only tell by the bulbs. Or you can trawl through the spermatheca pics on the media feed on here they have pics of most species spermatheca it's how I learned 😊
