H. Chilense or Orellanai ?

[WhiT VoN E]

Hi everyone,

I got this tarantula about a year and a half ago off of craigslist for $50. It was listed as a female H. Chilense. I don't doubt that it is a female just by judging the body type but I would like your opinion on sex by ventral. And if it is Chilense or Orellanai?

Thanks

Definitely chilense. orellanai will have vibrant yellow on their abdomen rather than red. Looking female, but I’m terrible at ventral sexing.

Certainly looks like my chilense & simply from size & shape, I would say mature female.

Shape and size. Dont see any tibial hooks. I'd have to say female as well.
