Eupalaestrus campestratus?

Grammostola pulchripes and definitely not a E. campestratus. E. campestratus do not have mirror patches on their abdomen which is a dead giveaway.

1000% certain I know what it is. Eupalaestrus campestratus does not have any mirror patches, which is distinct only to the Grammostola genus aka the G. pulchripes (looking at yours) and some specimens of G. pulchripes tend to have a pinkish hue on setae.

Notice my G. puulchripes distinct mirror patch, which yours have.

She molted beside her flipped water dish. Her molt was a little over 3'' but she doesn't seem...

@Liquifin Also, the yellow bits are absolutely gorgeous—I hope my guy ends up as beautiful as yours.

Some Thrixopelma species can have a large mirror patch like that as well, but Eupalaestrus never does.
Here is a Eupalaestrus campestratus female around the same size as this Grammostola pulchripes.

@Moakmeister LOL. I do like the pink floof. (Which is why I was leaning towards a N tripepii before I found out how big it gets.)
