That looks like a B. smithi.
That is not a T.blondi or any Theraphosa species.
Sorry to hear this man, always sad to be screwed over.

You don't have to say but what was paid for the spider?

Maybe you should contact raymond and just inform him, he might have been screwed over as well or he knew what he was selling.
If that is the case that he knew what he was selling you get he's contact details and name and shame the guy so other people don't get caught out, only if he knew what he was selling you.
Also if he knew what he was selling you can demand your money back.

Are you talking about Anna-Marie Gerber?

Yes anamarie gerber! My girlfriend paid R1200

in what area is this person ?? i also saw that pic on the bbm group

So you the guy in the picture holding the rectic?

Has Anna-Marie phoned the guy that sold it to her?

The last pic i posted was one that i took myself this morning! Wil phone ana marie today!

I also bought 3 of these so called T blondi's from Machiel, Anne Marie's husband. They bought them from a guy -Davey- in Krugersdorp who owns a petshop called Thomzana Petshop. I've been in contact with Machiel who has reassured me we"ll get to the bottom of this and that they honestly sold them as T blondi's as they've had quite a good relationship with Davey in the past.
To make matters even worse one of the slings I bought died whilst moulting, not a happy chap to say the least.
I also made contact with the guy who sold the slings to Anne Marie and Machiel and he is adamant insisting that the slings are T blondi slings. He also said that his cousin has 2 mature females and 3 males, one of them mature and that they also bred earlier in the year. He sold 8 to Machiel and Anne Marie and is 100% sure that they are T blondi slings.....

So disappointing that something like this can happen in the hobby....
