Looks like a mature male Trapdoor Baboon Spider - Cyphonisia sp.

Why male? Legs are kinda short and thick... But I second that it might be mentioned Cyphonisia. Nice spidey though, got more? :)
Cheers.

im not even sure that thing looks real... are u sure you didnt photoshop something here???????? ;) some of the proportions look way wrong and if you look at the hind legs, abdomen and chelicerae.. the texture doesnt look right

no offense to you. i could be wrong, but it just looks wierd to me. do you have more pics of the same spider?????

It looks a lot like the male I posted pictures of. Even more so now that he is getting more ragged.

Hi, i got it from a friend about 3months ago and was originally thought to be a sup adult female malaysian trapdoor spider,(Not sure if it was WC or CB).
when i got it, it was pure black no other colours on it..
It is real never photoshoped it or anything, only got these other 2 pics as it is know once again a pet hole. And yeah i know it can climb glass foubnd out the hard way.
