This is a Theraphosa stirmi. As slings, T. stirmi have pink tarsi on their first front four legs. Slings of T. apophysis have pink tarsi on all eight legs, while slings of T. blondi have no pink feet.

Nice. I just got a blondi sling and I can agree with the above. Stirmi

@Teds ts and Inverts
This was sold as apophysis but I suspected it was stirmi due to the lack of pink on the back four tarsi. Thank you for confirming.

@CitizensOfTheWomb Yup, that’s why we’re here Hopefully you didn’t pay the price of an apophysis for it. True T. apophysis are very pricey!

The deal was a little too good to be true. The seller is being really good about the situation and is going to refund me.
