Sold to me as Homoeomma sp. Blue Peru, female. I have raised it from a sling and it is approximately at a 4” legspan now.
Is it what it was sold to me as or perhaps Thrixopelma of some sort, or something else?
Technically it’s Thrixopelma sp. “Peru” aka “Blue” species. Was it sold to you as H. sp. “Peru”? If it was than it probably is. Though it may be Thrixopelma lagunas.

It has been awhile since her last molt in this pic I took yesterday that is posted.
I have seen these threads:

I have here one Homoeomma sp. "Blue and three Thrixopelma lagunas as far as I can see of their appearances both species are identical to me. From my own experience with Homoeomma sp. "Blue" I find them very slow growers. From what I've been told Thrixopelma lagunas are bit faster growers. I have...

Whatever she is, is she a hard to come by species?
Thank you again, and to anyone else willing to offer help.
