I just got this new baby and the pet store said it was shipped without a label so we have no idea what it is. Any guesses would be greatly appreciated! It’s probably half an inch to an inch long. The legs have a darker segment followed by lighter ends. Very small ringlets can be seen between the carapace and the legs and it might have stripes on the legs near the joints.

My guess would be Megaphobema robustum (Colombian Giant Redleg)
Ooh! I’ve been looking at pictures of slings all day and that’s definitely a top contender thank you!

What pet store? Petco?
Yes it was Petco. They said it was shipped to them with no label.

Yea on the Petco website looks like they sell assorted Brachypelma species so it might just be a
Brachypelma emilia (Mexican Redleg) pretty much just a smaller version of the Giant Leg lol...

The sling photos I can find look very similar. Personally I hope it’s an M. robustum but an Emilia would be a welcome addition to my collection. It spends most of its time in hiding so I haven’t gotten any more pictures but I will update the forum as I can.
