The tarantula on the picture is about 15-16 years old. It may look like a aphonopelma seemanni, but the underside is completely black instead of orange, so that's why I'm asking you guys here.
Thanks for the help Philth I looked up the name and most of the info and pictures I found matches my tarantula.
Though its appetite is much higher than the info I find on the internet. It eats a lot and I have to feed it a lot so it wont visually look like its loosing weight. If I feed it 8 fat crickets at the same time. It collects them all and it looks like the tarantula is holding a ball while it eats them all.
There's no point in making it look nice in the cage, since the tarantula prefer its surroundings to look like total chaos. It moves stuff around and likes to flip things over.
I had to buy a new cage for it and its the one on the picture. On my old one, it used its fangs to make a hole where the air vents were and I caught it once when it had half the body outside of the cage.
Also it lifts its body and stands on its back feet showing its fangs to everyone that have tried to hold it, so I have never held it in my hand since I bought it.
