Oh, that hint narrows it down a lot. I'll let someone else take a guess before I nail it!

The carapace color and abdomen pattern scream earth tiger to me.

What is Ornithoctoninae sp. Hati Hati?

Ornithoctoninae sp. Ho chi Minh?
Nope, arboreal not fossorial.

So it is an Ornithoctoninae sp aka earth tiger, but it's not O. sp Hati Hati. Very close though.

Ornithoctoninae sp haribon?
Nope, these have been available for quite some time whereas O. sp Haribon is a more recent discovery from the Philippines.

Phormingochilus sp. Akcaya
Nope, good guess though. Phormingochilus sp Akcaya has a much cleaner abdominal patterning, stays smaller, and is from a different island.

Ah. The Omothymus sp. Sumatran tiger, then? Mine is only 3" now, still a few months away from looking like this. Lol

Ah dang, I passed over Akcaya and Sumatran as guesses. I got thrown off because the cork bark got me thinking it was semi-arboreal but the pattern got me thinking fossorial earth tigers
