Hi from Sheffield UK

[purplewoodcat]

I have had my T. for 15 years now, I got her off someone who was going abroad so she's either 17 or 18 years old. I've never been sure what family of tarantula she is. so was wondering if anyone could help me.

Possibly a Brachypelma schroederi. Nice looking old girl. How big is she? Oh and welcome!

I would be almost certain in saying this is a Brachypelma schroederi
