Can we take another look at stirmi vs blondi?

From what I have learned, the major visible differences between T. stirmi and T. blondi is that stirmi have no patella setae, sparse setae on the underside of the femur and larger chelicerae and femurs than blondi. The stirmi I rescued from the outside of the pet store in November has molted and regenerated it's two missing legs, though it had a problem with the removal of the exoskeleton from the abdomen. I am unsure if it is actually a stirmi because of some characteristics.

Every one post your strimis, blondis and apophysis with each labeled for identification purposes.

Before you compare the specimen with other Theraphosa you should check the Genus.
It doesn't look like a Theraphosa.
