Recently molted but unsure.

[Rs50matt]

Bought as a B auratum but recently molted and I’m now questioning. I know they are part of “the red legs” but don’t know if they go through this phase as slings or not. About an inch btw @Phil @Casey K.

That is NOT an auratum. They would look similar to hamorii (knees) as slings but darker in color. My guess is that would be a Brachypelma boehmi.

Reminds me of the G. rosea we bought as a sling that turned into this after her last molt

"magic tarantula"

 

[Casey K.]

When you say an inch, do you mean the body span is an inch or the diagonal leg span? I have a B. boehmi that is about an inch and isn't showing any coloration as of yet. Tarantula pictured looks a bit bigger than an inch is the only reason I ask....

Brachypelma khalenbergi????

Brachypelma khalenbergi????

B. copperfield

 

[Casey K.]

B. copperfield

Only reason I ask is because khalenbergi look similar to vagans but have a green sheen to their carapace. I have owned a few.

 

[octanejunkie]

Looks like T. vagans to me

Could be but I've never had B. vagans with a green sheen to their carapace.

I think its bad lighting

 

[Rs50matt]

Yeah I didn’t think it was. My first thought was boehmei or baumgarteni. 1” dls. We have a boehmei sling at around 1.5” showing same coloration.

Wow! That would be super cool if it was Baumgarteni. Here, Auratum are worth more (retail) than Boehmi.

Would be cool for you we have a baumgarteni but I guess we have to find another auratum. (They’re worth more here too)

That's a B boheimi pal. Very nice spiders.

 

[Seamus]

I agree with @Phil looks exactly like my brachypelma boehmei

 

[Rs50matt]

We don’t have a b boehmei af yet so doubles our chances I guess . Now to source another b auratum

you missed out pal. I sold one last week. About 8cm DLS. Sorry. Strangely enough, he wanted and bought an 'auratum' but his was also a boheimi so I took that as a part trade. Maybe you both got from the same seller!?
