[QUOTE="plessey, post: 37215, member: 373"] I see. Sex wise, I'm not implying anything. Originally I thought it was a mature male as the ends of the pedipalps looked short and rounded but from the other pictures you posted I can see this is not the case. All I know for sure is that due to the hair on the carapace, the barely raised caput and shape of the foveal groove the spider is not a Grammostola rosea (or porteri). The general habitus is, to me anyway, very similar to Paraphysa scrofa. This is a species that is often commonly sold in pet shops as G. rosea which is why it is my best guess (and guess is all anyone can give you from pics). Anyway it is a cool little spider and it will be quite interesting to see how it looks once it has moulted. [/QUOTE]
