Suspect Aphonopelma seemanni

I apologize for the glare. I figured it would be a good time to take a picture with it trying to escape and all. This was given to me by a friend who has no idea what it could be. Anyone good at identifying slings please help so I can give it the best care possible. Suspect aphonopelma seemanni
@99spidersonthewall What makes you suspect it's Aphonopelma seemanni?

This is a New World species, but many NW slings look very similar, so it might not be possible to get a more specific ID for a few more molts.

If you have good reason to believe it's Aphonopelma seemanni, err on the side of giving it room to dig.
 
There is no way to get an accurate identification from a spider that size. You will have to wait until the adult colouring starts to present itself to narrow it down. At this point - all anyone can say is that it is a new world, terrestrial, species.
