mystery T

[loxoscelesfear]

this T was given to me. i am told it is a "Thai Rump." Anyone know the Genus species? tYvM

 

[bliss]

looks like it's from the genus -haplopelma-

but species, that's gonna be a bit harder... there are many that resemble each other, so it's going to be rather hard to tell... if i had to guess, i'd say this is a -Haplopelma longipes- but you can't tell by pics alone.

I agree with Haplopelma. As stated species will be hard from a picture. You can get it to a group of them, but narrowing it down to one without the spider in hand, or a good molt is nearly impossible. And even then it is sometimes a pain!:wall:

Regardless of sp., it is a borrower. Give her plenty of sub-straight.

and moisture,haps love it moist,not soaking wet. nice t:clap: i just got a hap.sp. they called it a "thai fawn" ive never seen this hap.sp. before, i don't have pics but what i can say about it, it has the tiger pattern abdomen,half of the body is light grey(front half,legs,caraprace) then the back half is black(legs,abdomen w/pattern),it kinda looks like a black earthtiger,but it's defintly not that,she's also pretty big,very unique,has anybody seen them before? i hope my description was ok to know what i'm talking about

thanks much for the input guys. breaking it down to genus is fine by me. this T was in bad shape when i got her, but she has gained all of her weight back and eats like a pig.

Hello there ,
I would not narrow it down to the genus Haplopelma . It might just as well be an Ornithoctonus species . In any case though , she needs deep and moist substrate to burrow into .
