Nice! Uroctonites sp. is my first guess. :) Very Nice! :clap:


Okay, so maybe not Uroctonites, I don't think there are any in your immediate vicinity. Maybe a Uroctonus Mordax?

I think it's a Uroctonus Mordax.
I'm about 85% sure that it a U.Mordax.....I could be wrong so feel free to correct me.

yeah, super common. not too hard to care for, but not simple to get babies from. i would guess you've got at least one gravid female there, too, btw


idk. i dont' remember how to tell them apart. if you can google species descriptions i can help show you how to use them
