[QUOTE="Salatia, post: 218247, member: 38837"] Hi T people! Hope all are doing well - I have some exuvia taking a bath ready to see if I can sex any of my guys. I imagine only 2 will be large enough but I also want to practice arranging etc. My question today, though, is about a T I got which is supposed to be E murinus. They are a couple inches DLS, and I'm not sure what their colouration should be at this stage. I would compare to my A.seemani but they are considerably smaller and mostly unmarked at this stage. I believe seemani would have orange spinnerets, and most importantly that an E.murinus shouldn't have a bald spot on the back end. I want to confirm this before bringing it up with the seller. As far as I'm aware, if the T doesn't have urticating hairs on their abdomen, then there is no reason there will be a bald patch. Is this correct? Thanks for any help anyone can provide. I'm feeling quite let down, and it is a T I've wanted since the very beginning. This is a pretty spider, but they are also the largest I own - so having more of the adult colouration then of course they're pretty. But the whole time I've been thinking things look 'off' and I have in the last few days finally had a chance to pin down why. [/QUOTE]
