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.</p></blockquote><p></p>
