I don't think anyone on this board can give you a definate answer, unless in typical fashion they use an off-chance question to lay down some taxonomical data the rest of us don't know about however, with the current trend in the pet-trade, I believe they are calling that one with legs IV the same width as leg I H. hercules. I believe the one with the thicker back legs is considered H. crassipes.. whatever gigas is, you've got me.

Sort of looks like it, but I didn't think that the leg stripes were that prominent on H. gigas.

I could be wrong, though. I'm sure ain't any expert.

It looks like a pretty and healthy T. If you don't already have one like it and the price is reasonable, could be a nice one to add to your collection. What other T's look like this one pictured? Do they say is is a H. gigas?
