Very nice Brachys! My auratum is quite dark, too Love it though - makes for a great contrast!

 

[elportoed]

Yes, I have others that are kinda dark grey. This dark one is quite stunning esp right after the molt.

Totally agree! It's almost as if they "glow"

Stunning spider, Tom. Looks like a, uh, B. emi-boe-thi. Is it a hybrid or a not yet described species?

I can not say that I really know. This spider was in a collection that I bought from a pet store ( that bought them from a collector retiring from the hobby) . That black triangle has confused me for years. I have heard that the carapace marking can vary drastically with in Brachypelma though ( See the above pics of B auratum posted by elportoed )
