Aphonopelma chalcodes

Barbie having a dubia snack.
I have often wondered if some of the Aphonopelma mimic Brachypelma (and vice versa). Bicololoratum and Boehmei as an example. This one looks a bit like B emilia, albeit not as red.
Lovely spider 😍
 
Definitely not a B. emilia. This was her before she molted.
She may very well be an A. gabeli. I asked in the T ID forum when she molted and was told that A. chalcodes molt out dark sometimes. I believe she was WC, as I got her as a (cheap) 4in juvenile, so who knows. She's one of my favorites either way, but it would be nice to be certain what to tag her with! :rofl:
