Looks like one of the Aphonopelma species

I have had this one around two years and forget what is it please ...

An educated guess would be Aphonopelma chalcodes, the desert blond (Common Names, 2003 or ACN5.pdf) or Tuscon blond tarantula. Very hardy. Long lived (20+ years for females). Usually very gentle. A good starter tarantula for the newbie.
