Hello all I would like a little bit help from those out with the knowledge,

I have both the species above both brought as labelled , I know the two species can be miss labeled

1st 3 pictures are what was sold as sling as a Aphonopelma caniceps

last photo is my as sold brachypelma schroederi. Any help with true identification would be much appreciated thanks

From what I remember Aphonopelma caniceps is actually a brown spider and has never been in the hobby. All hobby caniceps turned out to be schroederi. The spermathecae certainly fits that of schroederi, no idea what the spermathecae for caniceps looks like as the species was described from a male and there is no female type specimen as far as I am aware.

Thank you it’s as I was thinking , I will want for a molt from the so called caniceps and see if the spermathecae is like the brachypelma, many thanks
