So today I went to a reptile show to pickup some supplies. While I was there I saw a tarantula labeled "Blue Femur" for $30. They said it was from Chile, and that the care was like a G. rosea, but a little more moist. I bought it because i had an extra KK at home. When I unpacked it, it was very fast. Not aggressive, just really fast. I googled it's common name only to find NO care sheets whatsoever. I also found out that there are 2 species called the blue femur. One from Asia and one from Chile. Mine was flicking some hairs, so I know its from Chile. I don't have any pics but I might get some tomorrow. It is a brownish color, and appears to be arboreal, because it is always on the upper corners of the KK exploring. I need a care sheet, as I already said, I can't find any. I currently have it in a terrestrial setup with a water dish and a hide made of cork bark.

If it is Euathlus pulcherimaklaasi, then keep it pretty much like G. rosea, as they suggested. What size is it?
This is one of my recently molted slings, ~1.25"
