Tiltocatl schroederi

Nice spider.

Just to be aware, this has been reclassified from Brachypelma to Tiltocatl. Also this looks more like Tiltocatl verdezi to me?

Tiltocatl schroederi have a virtually black carapace.

Link to one of mine.

Oh Thanks for pointing that out
It was sold to me as "Mexican black velvet tarantula"

That's where "common" names can sometimes get confused. I have had a number of Brachypelma (now Tiltocatl).schroederi and none have had a carapace that colour.
Obviously that's only an issue if you intend to breed. What you have, regardless of what name allocated, is a very nice looking spider 😊
