African red trapdoor

[aftershock]

It's not often I see her. Actually this is the first time she's out since I bought her, and that was about 6 months ago. Could it be a Stasimopus robertsi?

Another pic. Look at her little cave.

[aftershock]

This one is about 2,5" and I guess it won't grow much more. i have another one, a black specimen that seems to be and adult as wel but it's much smaller.

The Tanzanian red trapdoor spider belongs to the Idiopidae

Might be a Gorgyrella species according to some ;-)

Worse. The bite isn't life-threatening, but would involve severe pain and swelling, as well as nausea, vomiting, and other unpleasant effects.

My first bite was from an black trapdoor spider I bought for my wife for christmas I suffered no ill effects what so ever. but to be on topic, how big do black trapdoor spiders get?

 

[aftershock]

They only get about 1,5-2,5".

Malhavoc, was that a US or African species that you got tagged by ?
