Featherleg (Stromatopelma calceata)

I don't think it was an H. maculata. The temperment of the T I saw was extremely calm and slow. Even with the man picking him up, cup style, from the top, and placing him on his friend's back, the T just kept bobbing slowly along, completely unaffected by all the attention. :?

Who knows more about the Featherleg?

the s. Calceata is about the same temperement of the maculata, wich is extremly nervous and or defensive
