Brachypelma (probably now Tliltocatl) sp. Tortuguero

This is one of my slings from a mexican import by the spidershop (uk) last year. Yet to be accepted as a full classification but sold as the 'Silver Red Rump'
My daughter has one of these.
That's cool. From the spidershop as well? Do you have a pic? Would like to see and compare them. :)
When first arrived, could really see why they got a "silver" name but a lot darker now.
 
My daughter brought hers from someone local at the end of last year. I can only add an image via a link, so I hope this works

looks much bigger then mine. Unless they are super tiny fingers!
Very cute looking spider. Did the previous owner get from the spidershop do you know as they are the only people I know of in the UK who imported them. I think @MrKrowe also got some so hopefully he sees this post and shares also.
 
Size wise it is around an Inch. But we don't know it's origin. We got it from someone local, who we had bought from before. She had recently moved to a flat from her parents house & was down sizing. My daughter wanted another T, so we went & bought another couple off her. She also gave my daughter a T salbulsom. (First visit she gave me a OBT.)
 
Yeah...although I did zoom in and it is still in a sling pot.
Are these being captive bred now in the hobby. I hear they get a little larger than most Tliltocatl?.. Interested in trying to locate one in the future. I wonder if they grow at a fair pace for the genera like T Vagans? I hope so :)
