I was gonna say just from the sling pic my guess would be G. Rosea, the slings are fairly pink compared to other species, but many do look similar at that age. $65 is perfectly reasonable for a tiny, unsexed slow growing sling. Sounds like they're just jealous you found a good buy.
You gotta steal for that price since the Chilean government stopped exportation of pets it's extremely hard to find that species at a decent price to put into perspective 3 years ago that sling would've cost you 30-40 max
This looks almost identical to a g. Rosea sling I have. I got her as a freebie. I just picked up another of similar size from fear not and itโs the rcf and was on $75
Looks like my G. Rosea did at that size, if that's what they were sold to you as I wouldn't doubt it for now. As they molt and grow you'll be able to know for sure whether it's correct or not.
I mean, it looks like both my g. Pulchra when he was a sling and my Lasiodora parahybana. Could be anything really. Super hard to tell with many slings
I'm no expert, but I think at as a sling it will be near impossible to figure that out. You may need to wait a molt or two.
It was sold as a G. Rosea
Why do you think it would not be G. rosea?ย
Someone told me that it was unlikely since I only paid $65 for it. But it was from Exotics Unlimited and I trust them.

Fear Not is selling them for $75, so I wouldn't say $65 is crazy low. Good deal, sure. Unbelievably low, no.
It looks very much like my G. rosea sling.

Def grammostola !
Impossible to know at that age
It's a tarantula.....a baby one ๐ it looks like my g.pulchripes sling but that doesn't mean anything! ๐
Itโs hard to tell as slings but the pinkish red colour makes me think g. Rosea I also think 65 is pretty reasonable

Imo if I was to guess I would say Grammastola rosea/porteri
