Thanks, I was going with the name it was sold as, but others told me it was O.hainana. I will have to do some more research to make sure, but your suggestion puts me closer to hainana as the id. Thanks.

Did not convinced me at all...folks... i bet on still being H/O?.hainana though....

 

[Goliath]

It may very well be H/O. hainana, but all I pointed out is that they look similiar, photo id'ing is never the proper way to id a tarantula. Mine and Arachnokings do look similiar.

Thanks, I wish I did have a positive id on this T, it would be nice to put a name to it. I will do more research and hopefully pin down the id.
