Hi whitestar7,
Are you sure this spider is a Heteroscodra maculata, it looks like a Stromatopelma calceatum to me. Heteroscodra maculata is more white colour where Stromatopelma calceatum is the more brown/khaki color.

Im so glad you brought that up!!!!!

I have a Stromatopelma calceatum sling about 4cm and the colouration is very similar. I got this guy from someone on the site in January and when i collected it my wife asked me the same question. I did my research and ive seen alot of pics of the H. maculata wearing similar colours to the S. calceatum, so im not so sure about the colouration i imagined it would get whiter or that the colour varies abit. the one thing that i did notice is that my "H. maculata" is a little hairier then my S. calceatum sling. now i dont know if that comes from being older or a different species?
