Hello, I’ve recently just got into this, and I’ve made my first purchase, the pet store had no experience, and did not know what they had. Could someone tell me exactly what i have purchased? Very aggressive little thing by the way. Also, I attached a photo of the enclosures, any pointers would be appreciated.

I'm far from an expert and others with more experience in identifying them will pop up
But I want to say Grammostola pulchripes.

But not sure at all

Eddit: I take it back didn't see other pictures. Dam phone

My guess is Haplopelma/Cyriopagopus albostriatum

That's an old world species which tend to be aggressive I know this because I have one myself. It's an earth tiger I know this for sure! Be prepared for extreme speed, aggressive eating, and a jumper. Beautiful Tarantula but itll give you a run for your money.
