Still didn't want to fight

I got my MF cambridgei today. So i discovered what could be a problem. I need to get a real good look at and picture of my MM. I traded a snake for him a few months back. He was said to be a cambridgei and I assumed it was till today. Him, my OBTs and really all my Ts have always acted like they were on zoloft. They never go ballistic or strike. I went in to get him to move out in the open so I could get a pic. He never wants to move when I nudge him, very stubborn, not aggressive at all. I pushed and nudged him with a brush, move a inch and stop, pull all his legs in. I must have bothered him for a good 10 min, and finally he raised his legs to let me know, enough is enough. I took the picture at that point. The first threat pose I've ever got and I had to almost attack him to get it. In a way it made me feel bad. I would rather never see a threat pose again from any of them. So, back to the problem, I'm not sure he is a cambridgei. But that would mean its not Psalmopoeus??? She is a young mature, (size), but he is half as much more bigger than her. Side by side it's like a nickel and a dime. Should be the other way around. His chevron is very light, even burns out in the flash. let me know what you think. First pic is the female.

Looks like any mature male cambridgei that I've seen.


I know, I'm sure it is. Not anything else it could be. I guess the female might be a young one, still growing and he is fully mature.They said he had ultimate molt on 8/27/14. He's just a good sized one. I may put them together to see if it works. If nothing happens I'll wait till she molts again. He should have enough time left in him.
