Damn... i can tell you, its no regalis... hmm.. it's blackish, with a chevron-like pattern on the abdomen. Was also labeled as "Vietnam Tarantula". Aggressive as hell, almost scared me to death when i lifted the box they had it in.. Attacked all sides at once It was so poorly treated! thinner than the starvation thread-rosea! and it had appearantly gotten a bottlecap of water once (!) in the last months! for now he/she is eatin chops (meat..) since they had no cirx, and no T food at all. Im thinking it could be the H. albostriatum, but have they got such markings on the abdomen? http://birdspiders.com/archive/1/0047.htm colors are right but... or could it even be the true minax? it did say vietnam after all. wish i had a pic

edit: could be this one
