Was sold as Ceratogyrus bechuanicus, but I'm not sure.

Correct I.D.

As far as I can tell the I.D. you were given is correct considering I also own this species. However it is very difficult to correctly I.D. a spider just on a photo. Darrell

A very cool species Prizz! I had what was sold to me as a C.bechuanicus a couple years ago, as a sling and it's horn also grew towards the back.

I'm not sure if that makes both of them C.bechuanicus, as any other info other than caresheets on Ceratogyrus sp. was kind of hard to find at the time, but mine was and your's is 99% Ceratogyrus sp. (that 1% just in case yet ANOTHER reorder has been done in the last 90 seconds :wall: ).

Hopefully we'll both find out soon... :?

How's your new addition's temperment? Mine was very feisty, surprisingly so for a sling that size, and I would expect the same from an adult.

Using Richard Gallons key to Ceratogyrus from 2001 this specimen fits nicely with the description of C. bechuanicus

Thanks Deschain, but this is not my T, I've just posted this topic for my friend, because he wants to know which this species could be. I keep mostly oldworld species. :cool:
