I had bought this little guy as an Apophysis, but I’m noticing the back feet are hardly even pink. Shouldn’t they all be a noticeable pink for it to be an apophysis?
I don't know if this is anything to go by, but all pictures of juvenile T. apophysis I have seen have had a noticeable carapace pattern in comparison to other Theraphosa.
My T. stirmi hit around 5"-5.5" in legspan around Mid-November, and at that size, there is noticeably less hair on the patellas when compared to the rest of the legs. Like T. blondi, T. apophysis' hairs go all the way up the leg, so that's another way you can tell. But just by judging your pic, I'd be willing to say that this is a T. stirmi.
