Many people buy a T as a sling / juvenile, even as an adult & are told it is XYZ species, only  to find it is, in reality, ABC species. And I am not sure many people would know the difference between a rosea & a maule without time & googles help & an understanding of tarantula taxonomy. So if the enclosure label stated it was a  maule or conception, I am not sure how many people would know they are a rosea sub species, or be able to positively identify them, as what they are, without that label or the help of a rather expensive specialist.</blockquote>
