Brachypelma Smithi not eating

Yes he's fine, he's fat and probably pre moult

Ok and I got sold this as a b.smithi but I’m wondering if it’s actually b.hamorii

I should also say 6 weeks is really not that long.

@Trincess doesn't look like a hamorii to me.
Where did you get him from?
Could be just the camera mind.

Specialist Reptile shop near where I live

@Trincess interesting. Not usually the best places to buy I got a "boehmei" that's actually a hybrid.

Paul1126 · Apr 3, 2018

@Trincess Breeders.
I've bought from The Spider Shop. There's others do a bit on hunting.

At that size and pre-molt, it does look like a hamorii...but it could be smithi...at this size you wouldn't be able to really tell the two apart.

It’s going to molt keep the humidity level up.
