It appears to be a baboon tarantula of some sort. They are a Old World tarantula from Africa and possess medically significant venom, so handle at your own risk. No reports in history to my knowledge of anyone ever dying from being bitten by a tarantula, but if you get bit by a OW you're gonna have a bad time.
Certainly NOT a P. irminia. Not even a Psalmopoeus at all I'd say. The coloration of the legs throws me off a little...does that one have hook / bulbous pedipulps btw? Looks kinda like a MM to me...
No still sling, originally was labeled as Chaco and I knew it wasn't. The new guy that works there thinks its a p irminia male but I told him their is no way that is a p irminia. It does look old world but nothing like my OBT so I'm still trying to figure out what it could be. Maybe I should just buy it but not going to pay what they are asking 39.99 for it without knowing that it is. That is one of the reasons why I don't buy from local pet stores, they sometimes don't have an idea what it is. Im going to tell them I will give them 20 bucks and I will figure out once it grows.
