no, it's got what looks like a smilly face on the opisthosoma like on the p. murinus..?

It's probably the yellow-gray form of P. murinus. The common name is Mombassa Golden Starburst. The "Star" probably came from "Starburst." I'd say you'd care for it basically the same as you'd care for an Usambara. Just do a quick search and you'll find all you ever needed or wanted to know about Usambaras.

that's it thanks blue (that's a pretty funny story with thou's pics)

All I can think of is P murinus normal colour form

P lugardi

and Heteroscodra maculata also known as the Togo starburst

 

[RazorRipley]

The only thing remotely common enough to be found in a typical pet store and be called a "star" (from what Ive seen) is the Togo Starburst, or African Ornamental, Heteroscodra maculata... Neat species, oftern very nervous, aggressive and fast, though I have seen docile slow ones that dont mine being held.
