If he takes it that's fine, but it does in fact look like the sp. Bakerfield.
Only other thing it could possibly be is a G. rosea?

|
ftorres

Hello All,
Sure you can ask Oscar.
It does have urticating hairs, but I don't know which type 1,2,or 3 not sure.
One more hint This particular Genus is in the CITES list

Brachypelma schroederi Rudloff?
|
ftorres
|
Hello All,
We have a winner.
It is a B schroederi, it was described a few years ago and it is endemic to a small area in the Yucatan Peninsula.
This particular one is a female, the male is smaller than she is and I hope I can breed them in a year or two.
Adam congratulations, you won the P regalis juvenile.
thank you all for playing.

Thanks Francisco. Although I really need to thank Kevin for giving some names and not wanting to win  All I had to do was guess which, then Francisco's CITES reference made it easy 
|

hello all,
yes it was a given since Vixvy had already mentioned B verdezi.
