Mexican Rose Hair Tarantula?

[PhishinBarefoot]

Is there such an animal?

The friend who I thought has a Mexican red-knee says that is in fact a Mexican Rose Hair. I have
Googled said animal and come up with squat. Could he mean a Chilean Rose Hair? Those seem to exist.

The thing is 20+ years old. Could this be an animal that used to be available in the pet trade and is no longer?

Of course, this is not stopping him from looking for a local PetCo that has B. Smithi for sale starting
Tues. (Thanks Jen and Fr0glet).

The usual caveats about my utter lack of bug knowledge still apply when responding, thanks.

P.S. - and yes, it is a bug. Anything that has more than 4 legs is a bug to me!

Seconded, sounds like a Chilean rose to me. They've been around for a while - I've got one that's 10 years old. B. klaasi is a recent import,
AFAIK.

Here's a shot of one of my G. roseas:
