Brought this little one clearly heavily in premoult but was sold as an unknown Brachypelma.
I’m not that clued up on the Brachy’s and appreciate it may be hard to tell at a young age but any ideas would be awesome. @Phil i was thinking Boehmei or Emilia.
What would you lot say?
Thanks

yeah boehmei. The emelia would have the tell tale black triangular marking on the carapace at this stage (I.e. adult colouration starting to emerge).

Just for reference....the only other candidate with those type of leg markings, which I am ruling out anyway as the end leg segment is not coloured and the carapace markings are too light, would be the B. baumgarteni (which are also pretty rare and therefore highly unlikely)

Some pics of my adults for reference.
