Could be an Acanthoscurria theraphosoides, or at least what is sold in the hobby labeled so.
It's also possible that this is not even an Acanthoscurria sp., like @KezyGLA already mentioned, Lasiodorides sp. has to be considered. Wait for a moult, Acanthoscurria as a genus is pretty easy to identify by the bristles Leg IV
@Blue Jaye Since this spider just molted, you can readily tell if it is an Acanthoscurria species by the shape of the spermatheca. Acanthoscurria species have a single squarish to rectangular shaped receptacle with two round lobes at the top. There are exceptions of course in the genus, but as a general guideline that will work for now without seeing it. The genus Lasiodorides has a spermatheca similar to Lasiodora which is made up of two receptacles with the middle constricted and elongated making the tops rounded. They look like stretched out water drop shapes to me.
