I believe it is the Chaco Golden Knee Grammastola aureostriata. Gentle
giants apparently, though I've not kept them myself...

thanks for that Andy-that's what i thought,but 2 articles i've read (1book,1website) implied that the entre rios (g.iheringi) is biggest-however, Neil Little who keeps both species assures me that iheringi,although big, isn't as big as aureostriata.i've now ordered 1 of his chaco's!Comment

Wouldn't mind getting a couple of those myself, have a soft spot for the Grammastola genus as, like a lot of us I guess, G spatulatus was the first Tarantula I got and first ( and only) one I bred as well.

i believe Neil has 1 more left-a female he thinks-but i'd contact him asap if i were you, as he had several more only days ago, now only 1,so i guess they sell quick! spider shop never has them in stock for long either.Originally posted by Andy Wood View PostComment

I've got a few of these as Slings. I can't wait until they start to get a little larger - they are about 2cm at the moment and not really showing much signs of their adult colouration yet. They seems like fantastic spiders when fully grown.
[Edit] Of course, I should say i've got some G. aureostriata.Comment
