Description
This fairly large Theraphosid was resting (facing downward) on a metal post near the Hotel Axkan. Total body length about 2.5 to 3 cm, total length maybe 8-9 cm. I can't find any similar images of tarantulas on iNat in Mexico. The pink-banding on the legs and pink spots on the abdomen are distinctive. I'm wondering if this is a juvenile.
