Hey all, I recently purchased a T from my local breeder, labeled H. maculata. They had her set up in a deep container that was thoroughly webbed so I couldn’t see her before purchasing. Come evening time, she did finally come out and I’m thinking this is actually a DCF OBT. Any thoughts? I’m happy to have her in my collection just want to be certain on the species.

I currently have a H Mac sling. No adult colors and the spider in the pic does not look like any H Mac sling. My little one and any I've seen all have those beautiful little spots on there legs and I see none here. Believe you may be right! If it is a DCF P. Murinus you came out better monetarily but it's not what you paid for. It is a gorgeous T either way! Beautiful ! BTW how big is your T. My H Mac has pushed past 2 " and still isn't showing her/ him adult colors and I do believe they keep the spots till they get that ghostly white and grey! Damn I wish that spider would molt!! Lol!
