This is a spider I bought as a forth or fifth instar sling.

It is now a sub adult female with 15cm leg span of one of the following:

Lampropelma sp. "Borneo Black" ?
Cyriopagopus sp. "Sulawesi Black" ?
Cyriopagopus schioedtei ?

Any accurate ID would be "Magnificent" ... :blush:

'Looks' C schioedtei to me....

You can take an Aphonopelma to crickets but you can't make it eat!

Looks that way to me too.
Not that I know what the others would look like at that size to tell the truth? :)

Yup, looks like a C.shioedtei to me too.

the Cyriopagopus sp. "Sulawesi Black" seems more darker in comparison,and the Lampropelma sp. "Borneo Black" seems overall black.

I have a juvie shiodtei, and she looks exactly like that besides the size ofcourse. amazing tarantula none the less.

True for me as well, but if I had to rank the possibilties I would say

1) Cyriopagopus schioedtei
2) Cyriopagopus sp. "Sulawesi Black"
3) Lampropelma sp. "Borneo Black"

or something completely different, Cyriopagopus sp. "Sumatran Tiger" ??

The only thing that bothers me about it being C schioedtei is that I kind of remember my one having a bit more colour in the legs, yours seem pretty black in comparison.... :huh:
