Which tarantula

[Martin Oosthuysen]

I managed to get in contact with the guy from the marketplace who sold it to me, and he wrote that it's a Cyriopagopus spec. Sulawesi.

Hello
It is commonly called a Sulawesi Black,they are not aggressive but tend to be defensive sometimes hard to find in the hobby(rare) also at times confusing it with a lampropelma Sp. Borneo Black. They are from what I have seen arboreal/terrestrial and might exibit burrowing as sling to juvie,and a very besutiful T from a greyish color to charcoal even darker(weird color as adults). They are old world,so venom will be stronger than normal and family of the malaysian earth tiger. Now at least we have it out of the way of what it is,so my view was correct not a Lampropelma Violaceopes.

Another beautiful and large arboreal species! Well, at least our guesses were in the ballpark (and why identifying slings from pics can be a tricky affair).

Thank for all your help and the info on the Sulawesi Black. I may have found a buyer, and then I will go for a dwarf species
