gosh, s.calceatum HAS to be one of my favorite species
hmmm. . .the others seemed pretty sure that this is Cyriopagopus Sp. "Blue"?? It has different abdominal markings then S. Calceatum right.

It even has the classic Cyriopagopus expression...LOL! But, yes, Stromatopelmas are pretty in their own way, and many people love them. However, I do believe it would look different than what we're seeing here. Perhaps that was just a statement of enthusiasm? Haha! You can't blame an enthusiast!

i'd say that spider is almost definitely Cyriopagopus sp, possibly "Singapore blue".
it doesn't look like any S calceatum i've seen:

though, interestingly this thread www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=70297
has a "Cyriopagopus blue" male, which looks a bit like a S calceatum... and i've done some looking and found more...
so male Cyriopagopus blue's look like S calceatum?? weird...
but i haven't seen any S calceatum that look like female Cyriopagopus sp...
so it looks like the misidentification, if there was any, should've happened in the reverse direction!
