I will not divulge where "as the names would have to be changed to protect the innocent", I will say however that I saw the ad on another forum, and the guy had a lot of T's for sale, also had good customer feedback so I thought why not!! Good job it didn't have a nasty side though, as the wife unpacked it thinking it was the seemanni .... Have just got back from work to see that a whole of webbing has gone on , and it seems to be webbing itself in its flower pot !!! mmmmmmmm !! Any more info and guidance relating to my T would be great, thanks to you all so far : )My Collection:

I entirely agree it is not Aphonopelma seemanni (or Aphonopelma sp) for sure, as for example, it doesnt have urticating hairs on the abdomen.
I entirely agree its not Ephebopus murinus... for several reasons.
So, i think everyone has pointed in the right directions with an asian species like Haplopelma albostriatum.... albo=white , striata/um=stripes...
regards

Kathleen,
What about yours doesn't fit with A.Seemanni ? Are you meaning it doent have a tan underside and tan spinnerets? Often, and especially here colour isn't a good guide to identification. More pics from different angles would help if you want us here to give an opinion on its id... but that would just be opinion if from photograph alone.
