I purchased this spider from an expo, and the guy only had it labeled as "black velvet." It's extremely fast, and the guy did tell me that it's mean as hell. I'd like to know what species it is so I can house it properly. Thanks!
Looks like H minax to me, if you aren't sure wait till it nears a moult, H minax keeps it's velvety black colour and doesn't turn dull brown like other black species. Also they are very secretive, fast and meaner than the devil
God I hate these common names, wasn't expecting to see a haplo from the title. Was expecting either b.Schroederi or a.caniceps. looks like h.minax to me also. Nice specimen by the way.
