My brother gave me his tarantula because he didn’t want her anymore and I don’t know what species she is, can anyone tell me? She’s in premolt I’m pretty sure so her colours are more muted than usual.
First glance at thumbnail I was thinking Acanthoscurria geniculata, but up close I think maybe Nhandu coloratovillus? Chromatus also a possibility. Generally you want to see the body colour, the hair colour of the hair extending from the body and legs, and a look at the bands on the legs where possible.
I will say make sure to handle anything from their enclosure with gloves or tongs, as Nhandu species can have some irritating hair!
