Cyriopagopus longipes or Vonwirthi?
I would say C. vonwirthi, but it's in pretty rough shape. It doesn't have the lighter carapace and blue sheen on the femurs that I would expect C. longipes to have. Again, it'll be hard to tell from looking, especially until it molts.

What did you get it as?

I got is as a longipes and she had an egg sac that came along with her. After pulling the sac and putting jer in a more suitable home this is the best look I have got at her. She definitely needs a few good meals and a molt.

Interesting. Was the sac viable?
 
vonwirthi is imported incorrectly under the name "longipes" for the last 25 yrs. into the USA and that name is passed on from importer to wholesaler to retailer to you the hobbyists. Real C. longipes are extremely rare in the U.S. hobby.
