Not an H. mac?

[KoriTamashii]

So I got an H. mac a while back... and now I'm not sure if that's what it is. It looks like both a male H. mac and possibly an S. calceatum.

Can anyone help me?

It seems to like burrowing, and is VERY VERY defensive. It's about 4-4 1/2", and has only molted once in my care.

Managed to snap this pic.

It's a mature male.

...Well damn. Lol.

I was hoping it wasn't so, but hey, that's..... good to know. Thanks guys. :wall:

Male, a gorgeous one too.

A little advice, don't let that guy get out like depicted in the photo again, if you don't wanna spend the next 30 minutes chasing him around your room. These things can teleport.

I had an mm before and I was going to breed it but It died When I was on vacation. Anyway it does look like that though.

And please, don't get bit by it. H.mac are in the top more venomous Ts, and MM are generally even worse than females!

I got him out to take some pics. He was too busy doing up-down and threat posture to teleport... No worries, though he was pretty entertaining when he tried to nest in my friend's hair.

He's getting sent to someone with some females, so, bon voyage, mister crankypants.
