Post Title:
Help Identifying My Tarantula (Possibly Chilobrachys sp?)

Post Body:
Hi everyone,
I found or acquired this tarantula recently and would really appreciate help identifying its exact species. I’m located in Islamabad, Pakistan.

It seems to have:

Dark brown to black coloration

Hairy legs and body

Burrowing behavior (from what I can tell so far)

Slight reddish or violet sheen under certain light

As far as the identity of the spood the closest thing I can think of is a Chilobrachys Kaeng Kraken. Looks like grey striping in the patella. Did you aquire or find this spider in your native Pakistan???
