This was sold to us as a Theraphosidae sp. Dorado. We had a Dorado previously that died after a bad moult and this new guy looks nothing like the old one. It's probably 1.5" DLS, and has just got some more discernible colouration after its recent moult.
Oh yer idk why I didn't think about sp Mandarin mine is only 1cm and just getting colour so it didn't click
My Dorado is only 2cm but already showing very dark colours with a gold sheen no light legs so definitely not one of those . I can at least be confident with that.
@NMTs oh king of the tiny moult, you have Dorado too what do you think?

Our old Dorado looked exactly how you're describing too. You could see the gold on the carapace and the abdomen was more 'pill shaped' than round which is how this guy looks after few crickets
That's where I went, yeah. I told them already on the day I arrived coz you could tell as soon as it left the vial that it wasn't a Dorado, but they told me it was definitely a Dorado - I'll send them an update when it grows into an obvious Mandarin
