That’s a B Hamorii. If you look in the media arachno clown recently shared a picture of his Smithi. It’s easier to see the difference than it is for me to explain it.

That’s what I thought but now I’m just confused. She is approx 11 years old and approx 5” I thought if she was a smithi she would be bigger by now.

Yes smithi are bigger than hamorii - it's the second leg segment and carapace that make it easier to tell - my avatar pic is our AF hamorii - they have an almost complete black carapace (smithi it often doesn't go all the way all around the edge like hamorii do.. Fades out if you get my meaning) and the second leg segment in a smithi is more orange than it is in a hamorii - I'm not the best at explaining what I mean but I hope you get the idea :)
