Sorry to say but your spider definitely isnt a T. blondi. Have a look here

I'm with Izan, it looks more like the Homoeomma sp "large Blue". See here

Its a very beautiful spider but not what you paid for. Call the dealer and at least get a partial refund and let him know that it isnt right to sell misidentified tarantula's.

Good luck with the dealer. xx

Here is another pic on the BTS site of an adult female H. sp "large Blue" that looks jet black. Very beautiful girl she is too.

That is DEFINATELY not a blondi and is VERY naughty of the pet shop!!! That is 100% H. sp. Blue and is valued nowhere near that of a blondi. I'd ring them immediately and demand a refund. Gimme your name and their number and i bloomin' will!!

i will do it but i am very nervous as he insists it is a blondi.
i also need to find out the age of this little one and the size it will get to. bet its full grown already.
what does the sp in its name stand for?

Dont be nervous. The guy needs to know its not what you paid for. Its possible that he bought it in as a T. blondi and honestly thought that what it was but either way he needs to be told.
Either you have been duped by him or he has been by his supplier so it needs to be sorted out ASAP before it happens again to someone not quite so nice as you are. xx

Just give him a call and tell him what you've found out.

Chris is a really decent guy, and he wouldn't con anyone. There is a misunderstanding somewhere, and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to deal with any concerns
