I think that this spider can be Aphonopelma seemani ...

before molt

after molt

But probably my spider is not typical Aphonopelma seemani form.

Wow, yours looks almost exactly like mine (2.5" juvie). I read that A. seemani will very in color from tan to grey to black, and stay that way throughout life. I thought that they might become black after a molt or two, but I have seen images of juvie A. seemani that are black.

That looks exactly like my A. seemanni. My semanni is very blueberries blue after the last molt about 1 or 2 months ago.

Pre-molt and old picture:


The guy i got mine from, said it was brown when he got it. But molted into the grey/blue and then to bluebarrie blue when i got it.

To OP. It could be a "real" A. seemanni, and not a sp
