Whoa....

I've never seen, or even heard of this species before this thread to the best of my recolection, but I think I'd recall it if I had... AWESOME spider!! Good pics too! I think I just found another "must have" T!! What's the husbandry for these like? They hard to keep, or prone to problems molting, or anything like that?

Thank's all of you! S hainana is an asian species. Mine is from the south of China. It's close related to Haplopelma schimdti. I got three of these a few weeks ago, but I've sold two of them. In the area where they were collected it's a rather hot day temperature and pretty chilly nights. So I try to keep it that way. I hope shes gravid, her abdomen is really big(for a selenocomsia).

Thank's again and excuse my bad english.

So closely related, that they might be the same species!

I have one arriving next week, along with the normal "gold" H schmidti. I will post plenty of pictures for comparison.

Hopefully, I will get tree or four H schmidti in the end of October. I'll post some pictures as well by then.
