Hi,

You have a nice T there Looks like a Haplopelma hainanum for me.
There is a discussion about differences between H. hainanum and H. schmidti HERE.

Thanks for the link, I'll I can do now is hope I'll be able to get another molt from her. Which of the 2 spieces is less common? H.Schmidti or H.Hianana. It seems to be doing fine now, It has eaten but It hasn't burrowed. I've had her for over about a month. I started a burrow for her the other day, about 2". I didn't want to play in her enclosure to long.

Hi that is a nice looking spider, where did you find it?

I got it in a trade I did with reptist, It was traded to me as an H.Schmidti.


If I was to find out where this specimen was collected would that help with an Id?

I think he got it from me, and it came from china, from a petstore I believe.

Perhaps you could explain why you believe it looks like H. hainanum? As Volker explained in the thread you linked, H. schmidti spermathecae is not only shorter in height, but also has a deeper valley in the middle; both of these characteristics are clearly depicted in my photograph of the spermathecae from "Juice's" spider.

Cheers, Michael

Here is one more pic of her, She doesn't like to take pics. After seeing her spread out like this I'd say she is very close to 6". I just wish she would burrow.
