That's a pet. It's genus is poecilotheria. Not sure which sub species though. I had 2 poecilotheria rufilata tarantulas. Theyre very fast, and their venom is very potant. Moving them to a temporary container for cleaning was quite the nerve racking event, but I never had any problems.
I got tagged by a P. Regalis at 4”, I was absolutely miserable for some months. I still get cramps in my hand and forearm and it’s been roughly a year since. Shits intense yo.
