ID, was told that its a malaysian earth tiger

[kennfreeloader]

Hi, i need help IDing this T.
I jz got her today, she's about 5.5-6 inches(LS), her legs and abdomen looks blueish but definately not as blue as an adult Cyriopagopus species blue. The "blueishness" does not appear in the pics tho.

I was told by the seller that it's a Malaysian Earth Tiger, but that's all he knows about it.

hope u guys can help me out^_^

to me, she looks like a malaysian earth tiger, but i'm not so good ad IDing. kinda risky letting her walk all around like that, eh?

molitor: yeap ur right, definately a MET, jz don't know which met it is..schioedtei or thorelli

mexican8s:nope, i just double checked, jz fattish pedipalps

Yes, that is definitely a Cyriopagopus schioedtei aka Malaysian Earth Tiger. Very nice specimen also. They are sexually dimorphic once they reach a certain size, so I'm sure one of the experts on here can inform you as to the sex of the above spider....I am not sure of what phenotypic charachteristics determine sex in this species.

However, there is still alot of undescribed species out there, that are similar in appearence to schioedtei or likewise. It might not be schioedtei but a similar species...

Ps. Males of C. schioedtei tends to be a bit more greenish than females.
