That was my first guess! :)

Was it the Stichoplastoris sp.?

Oops! You're right! Thanks for the correction. I'll fix it ☺️

So, I was browsing tarantulas from Chiapas and one that may be worth looking into as a possible ID is Stichoplastoris sp. The coloring looks about right, especially if the one in your photo is a juvenile:) I'm actually new to arachnids but I've been having fun learning about them.

Hopefully someone can give a positive ID. I'll look for other possibilities too! :)

I'm not positive at all. Just looked like a possibility and I believe the range is right. But if the habitat is wrong then it might not be.

Brachypelma vagans * Sorry, it autocorrected me.

Maybe Brachypelma vegans? I think the range would be right for that one.

Okay, thanks! :)

I assumed it was a baby because there are about 20 of them in the same area. So I thought maybe they are babies who have hatched and are now exploring :)
