Sorry if this is getting too off topic but I have two that I've had for years (one is actually my first T) that at the time we're labled as rosea but both look completely different and I've always wanted to know exactly what sp. They were. Could I post pics of them here so you can help identify them or just post in the ID section?
Of course you can, post the photos.

The reason I ask if your spider looks anything like these two specimens on this two photos?

Looks to me like you have a G. porteri on top, and a G. rosea on bottom.

I've heard the "Northern Type" referred to as "Northern Gold," is this just another name or another sp or colorform?

Grammostola porteri on top yes, but Grammostola rosea I will have too disagree.
I believe @Spidermolt has a Grammostola species that is not rosea but the Grammostola sp. "Café" I would say that's what Spidermolt has. Is what I've been told by the Hispanic community in South America that that's what mine is. Regardless it resembles the rosea with not of a shiny crispier carapace like the rosea.
