Species Aphonopelma seemanni

[creepyvixen]

Really? local pet store must've mislabeled it. I'm a beginner with any T's that aren't rosies or pinktoes, ha. What makes you say that if you don't mind me asking?

I just did a quick search and I see why you've said that....lol identical shiny diamond shape on the abdomen. Pet store just ripped a girl off with a $40 Chilean Copper....

well A seemani are usually brown or dark colored with thick white designs on their legs. Besides the blue colour form. Rosea and P scrofa are somewhat similar in look but Scrofa have a shiny looking patch on their abdomen. Which your's has. Just a observation. I could be wrong, but definately not an A. Seemani. Google and see what you can come up with. Hope this has any help to you, and good luck with your T!!!

Looks like Grammostola pulchra

Looks like Grammostola pulchra

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but pulchras are black...

I agree with the P.scrofa ID but a better dorsal shot might help.

Meet Lolth everyone, I just wanted to show this beautiful animal off to people who will appreciate the beauty.

Beautiful spider, looks like your enclosure might have too much height though. You want something you can add lots of sub into as well, this species loves to burrow.

Currently working on that issue. What type of soil would I use? I’m looking at local stores for something that don’t have any additives, but seems impossible.
