Metalic pink?

[Mike]

Hi, i was gonna get my first Tarantula from this guy and he showed me a pic of what he was gonna sell me. He said it was a metalic pink chilean rose or something? here are the pics

He said it might look like that when it is adult? Is this a normal Chilean rose or a morph?

I bought mine as adults so i can't really say for the juvs... but The second is definitely the grammostola rosea... I think it all depends how the pictures are taken whether the metallic sheen is that vibrant. All three of mine look like the adult picture you've shown- but that picture looks like a lady T so if you get a male, it's abdomen will be way smaller - large grape sized compared to large walnut sized.

So then whats a metalic pink or whatever "? is that just a regular one?

Yeah it looks like it... If the adult pic you have there is the metallic pink, then you might as well go for the normal... either that or i have a metallic pink without knowing it. But honestly, that pic does look slightly more vibrant than mine- could just be the lighting though- but i doubt it's a unique morph.

That shows the grammostola species and your picture does look remarkably like the rosea :? - closest one to having any real colour is the orange morph but the carapace isn't metallic pink
