Confirm this is a G. rosea? New T. !!!

Update: After some research I think it is a G. porteri. Thoughts?

Original post:

I rescued this T. from Craigslist today. I am fairly certain it is a G. rosea. The owner kept saying "curly hair" and he had two other B. albopilosum's but I am fairly certain this is a G. rosea. He said it was small about a year ago and it is now about 3.5" in size. He also said it eats mealworms or crickets once a week, and hasn't molted in about 2 months.

Does it look healthy? I am unsure of the sex so that will be determined at a later date. It has no tibial hooks or bulbous pedipalps.

Thanks guys!

Any guess on the sex? I know this isn't an accurate method, but here are some shots from the bottom.

I'm 50% sure it's a female.

Ha. Thanks. I am definitely more concerned with if it looks healthy. The sexing was an afterthought.

Nobody? Am I right thinking this is a G. porteri?

Shes a little on over weight side but not too bad. Probably a porteri. Def not B. albo. I would just call it Grammostola sp.

What is Grammastola sp?

Just means it is in the genus Grammostola but your not 100% on exactly what species it is. sp is just an abbreviation for species
