That sucks..well its good that its in capable hands now. How long was it abandoned before you got it?
My female rose looks like this. Idk if it's rosea or porteri though. I'm still reading up on my taxonomy. Either way, both are " Chilean rose hair". God common names are awful sometimes haha.

Do you know the actual difference between porteri and rosea? I read that porteri is the ncf and real rosea is the rcf but sometimes they're referred to as rosea rcf meaning the normal color rosea is the one that most have. And ive seen porteri (labeled that way at least) and it looked nothing like rosea, it was like brownish grey with no pink carapace or very hard to see at least.
Im not sure how long ot was abandoned for. I was told somewhere around 4 months. Sad i couldnt save any of the reptiles he had that passed because he was an idiot. Yeah common names suck.
The only thing i know is that there different color forms ones pink and ones red

For the record, that's a G. porteri, not a rosea.
Thats so sad
yeah me too but I read that the color morphs are different species. So I have no clue. The one most people have is sold as g rosea but then what is porteri? It's just confusing lol.I knew it looked different then my male rosea

The G. rosea NCF is G. porteri now, G. rosea RCF is G. rosea.

^^^ I was thinking also it molted pretty recently. It does look like it's a ncf/porteri
EDIT: It also seems as though the OP may have a ncf male specimen sold as a "Grammostola rosea", as so many are.
