Super excited but definitely desperate for a a rehouse. Any insight on ID is very appreciated. Original owner states it’s a Goliath bird eater of some sorts.
That definitely looks like some sort of Phormictopus. Fits the descriptor since these can grow very large.

"Goliath bird eater" generally refers to a Theraphosa species - of which this is definitely not one of.

Thank you! From advice I’ve received on another platform it appears to be a Phormictopus sp green! Great eater and even gave a happy dance!

I was also able to snag a p. Regalis, and a GBB, and some sort of scorpion I still need to ID all for free. Definitely stoked!
