probably should put this in the their review section, some people have had good reviews but there is a size-able number of bad reviews. They are a drop shipper so the company doesn't actually see the animals they sell you, they have sellers that send you the animal which may or may not be kept questionably. Though I would suggest sending him off to meet some ladies, at least that way you have a chance to get some baby E.murinus.Just a heads up for those that aren't aware, you probably shouldn't order anything from <edit>. I still love it, but they advertised it as female with the stipulation "no guarantees". They obviously didn't even look at it then lol. Here's a picture of the cutie

You can't always judge by that, though. E. murinus is built much like an arboreal as well.You know what, I was skeptical too. It was climbing around on the top of the enclosure and has foot pads like an aborial..
Yes.It looks almost like a h albostriatum
+1 behavior isnt always a way to tell arboreal from terestrial. Many arboreals will actually burrow in captivity. Avics usually are an exception.You can't always judge by that, though. E. murinus is built much like an arboreal as well.
Yes.
Ha I didn't even look at the picture, that looks like a haplo to me. Which along with not being a female, the wrong species was sent and is now possibly a useless male who if an Id cannot be 100%That isn't even an E. murinus...
+1, I also wanted to say that looks like an H. Albostriatum. That's defenitely not P. Murinus..Well e murinus have arboreal looking legs in the front but the abdomen looks like it has chevrons and a grey carapace and e murinus don't have chevrons and have a cream colored carapace. It looks almost like a h albostriatum
isn't P. Murinus an OW semi-aboreal african specie? OBT right? Or am I missing something?I agree. And I'm pretty sure albostriatum are quite defensive. Luckily e murinus is a highly defensive NW so watching your fingers should already be a given but still. That's horrible mixing up NW and OW.
Albostriatum was just a guess. It could be a couple different halpos.+1, I also wanted to say that looks like an H. Albostriatum. That's defenitely not P. Murinus..

And for H. Albostriatum, isn't it worth more than P. Murinus? If you could get a definite ID on this one you can send him of to some females.
Edit: sorry, I read P. Murinus and not E. Murinus, sorry!!! My bad lol.
+ 1 I agree..Albostriatum was just a guess. It could be a couple different halpos.
To the OP, I believe care for both is similar but I don't keep any halpos right now, just e murinus, so I'd start doing some research on halps if you don't have them.
The Ephebopus murinus doesn't look like that. The carapace and trademark chevron on the abdomen give it away. E murinus has a mostly all black abdomen regardless of gender....i don't see anything in that pic that makes me think it is anything but a MM E murinus. Mature males are quite a bit different looking than females.
I guess I'll have to agree with you by default since I have never owned a MM E murinus. But I have never seen a picture of one that did look like that.No. I've had a few MM E murinus that *did* look like that. A quick search of breeding pics and videos also back that up.
