First photo is in January at 1/2inch and second is last night during rehousing at 2 inches. 4 molts. Still unsexed but suspected male

Starting to think it’s a dyscolus hybrid. Bought as Chilobrachys sp. kontum

I picked up a 1/2" Chilobrachys sp. kontum about 9 months ago from Tarantula Canada. I was thinking it was possibly a dyscolus hybrid too, but it's not. I asked Amanda from TarCan if there's a possibility of it being a dyscolus hybrid. She said that it is a separate species. It just doesn't have a name yet. Their locality is Kontum Vietnam.
I think these are possibly some of the first of its species to become available in the hobby. They haven't been around very long. I recently noticed them available from other sellers as well.
I never ever see the spider since it's fossorial but I'm excited to see what it looks like when it matures since there aren't any pictures of adults online anywhere that I can find.
