This tarantula species looks extremely similar to the Costa Rican tiger rump (Cyclosternum fasciatum), but it might be very well a different species. Yet I suspect that this Mexican tarantula is often sold in the trade as a Costa Rican tiger rump. In my experience this species is less docile compared to Brachypelma Vagans, but still very easy to handle.
The tarantula is sitting on the underside of the stone it was hiding under.
