I have noticed in pics of H. Gigas the very thing you described in your post and have wondered the same thing. Somewhere the tree branched off back in the day with the Gigas adapting to more moisture laden environments and the King more the drier savannah type environment. My guess at least. H. Gigas is always on the radar but I can't keep every T I like cos I would probably shoot for all!!! I also love the look of my female KBs abdomen pill shaped and so cool. Amazes me how fast they are that size and sounds like a herd of horses when those eight legs get to boogying! It's took more than a minute for my female KB to start venturing out from the burrow and only at night! Love it now that I catch her out more often as she is totally stunning! I think KBs are the most gorgeous " brown spider" of all the " brown spiders"! Another side note is now that she ventures out more she turns her water dish over constantly. What spoods love to do with there water dishes. Lol. Could write a book!! Lol. Happy Spoodering!</p></blockquote><p></p>
