Couldn't get a good look at the carapace but from first glance but I would say a Chilean Rose Tarantula-Grammastola cala

Thanks dd, do you think the G. cala and the rosea are the same species?

Awwww! He looks like my Madeline that my girls got me for Mother's Day many years ago. She lived in a terrarium in our kitchen for five years. Cute little boogers, aren't they? ;-)

Yeah G.cala and G.rosea are the same, just a taxonomic arguement between arachnologists.

Is it a 'wild' tarantula that you photographed or a pet?
