Unsure of Tarantula Species

I bought this specimen in glass box-type enclosure thing a few years ago and was wondering if anybody here could help identify the species/breed of tarantula it is. Based on the box, the tarantula is about 5 3/8th inches long about 3 5/8th inches wide if that helps at all. Thanks for any help, as I know this isn't the typical question or discussion here, and yes, obviously I am completely new to the hobby.

ID on a preserved specimen is nearly impossible. The color is off and obviously it's posed and dehydrated. I wish you luck, but a 100% ID isn't likely.

I'm no expert but maybe one day when this T was alive, hydrated, and healthy that it could of been a Starburst Baboon or Orange Baboon Tarantula. Not a 100% but just trying to help. :D

Here is a pic of one.
