Tarantula ID?

[plessey]

Notice the tall cephalic bulge--just like my A.chalcodes. Not sure this is a reliable way to differentiate T species for us hobbiests.

OK. If you say so. I guess I am not meant to understand this one.

There isn't much to understand. Aphonopelma tend to have a much more prominent caput than what is seen in the OP's photo (or yours). That doesn't mean that the spider in question doesn't have a raised caput, it;s just not as prominent as it would be if it was Aphonopelma steindachneri. But no I wouldn't suggest using this feature on it's own to differentiate species.

Hello all! I’m new to this site, I’ve been on Arachnoboards for a while but wanted to try this out.
This is not my own T but someone I know owns it but has no idea what it is.
(Being new to the tarantula hobby I also have no idea lol)
My immediate reaction would be G. pulchra but that seems to not be the case according to iNaturalist and some people on Arachnoboards. Aphonopelma steindachneri seems to be what everyone leans towards but I just wanted to get some more opinions.
Please let me know if I can take pictures of certain parts of the tarantula to confirm any IDs you might have!

The photos aren't very clear so I don't believe you will get definitive answers.

Is it possible to provide a clear picture of the tarantula but NOT through the plastic/plexiglass?

Best shots I could get, hope it helps a little
