I have an N. Chromatus and A. Versicolor on the way for this weeks fix!<img src="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/images/tarantulasmiley.jpg"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":T:" title="Tarantula Smiley    :T:" data-shortname=":T:" />QUESTION - I would love some help Identifying a T that I adopted from a guy that was getting rid of her. It was advertised as a Female T. blondi but I think that's incorrect. Based on what I can find I was thinking a Palomino Blonde. He could have easily confused the names I guess. Here is a pic. This was my 3rd Tarantula. We affectionately named her chestnut because of her big bald...well you know. He said she hadn't eaten for several months, possibly 6 before I got her and that she was about to molt. Being brand new to the hobby, I had no idea what to expect so I patiently waited for 2 months as she refused to eat. I rehoused her and for 5 of the last 6 weeks has eaten. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Still no molt though. Any help or feedback would be great! Thanks![ATTACH=full]14515[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
