Sold as Heteroscodra maculata

@Ben Thorne It's definitely an African OW species. I'm assuming this wouldn't hopefully be your first OW, with you not being able to pin down the ID? Gorgeous T though.
 
@Arachnophoric Yeah ikr! XD lol. I've kept a few just not something I'm super into. I just want to get it out a bad spot and into my collection, with the right name so I can find it a better home if need be
 
@Ben Thorne Gotcha. Yeah, I'm putting my money into it being something Pterinochilus, possibly a dark color form/locality of chordatus. I'm not the most qualified person to ID it though, and a better picture would help significantly if you can get one, whether that be from whoever has her now or when she's safe in your own collection. I'd keep it on a generous amount of dry substrate with the standard hide, water dish, and possibly some fake plants for it to web since it looks like it enjoys to do some webbing.
 
@Ben Thorne unfortunately "ball park" is sometimes the best you can do on IDs when it's not a species that is blatantly obvious. Hopefully if you get a better picture someone else can chime in to be more certain, but in the meantime I think what we've already discussed is a pretty safe bet. :)
