Please help me ID this.

[Alexander Ramsey]

I bought this as a H. minax. Unfortunately I am currently selling a load of my T's and am considering this one but I'm not sure what it is. In the ID galleries some of the pics look just like it but some of my pics, particularly the juvenile ones with the cream / beige abdomen and the amount of blue in the later ones, have really thrown me. On top of that, although I almost never see it, it has started drumming occasionally. The last time I got a good look, it definately didn't have hooks or emboli.
Any opinions welcome.

Haplopelma lividum (?)

Yeah a few people have said that but I keep a lividum and the colour difference is obvious, the minax is far far darker, the blue is only apparent in the right light or camera flash. Also the first pictures I took when I got it (the cream coloured carapace) doesn't appear to be typical of either sex sub adult lividum.I think. lol

I go wth Guy based on the first photo. H.lividum does have a few variations in colour. Its impossible to say from a photo however as the flash can cause all sorts of problems.. Still a beautiful spider though.

Lol, nice pic. I'm not suggesting lividums don't ever have a cream coloured carapace. Your quote was my reference to a pic I posted. In comparison of the lividum and the sixth pic I posted, I see the differences far more than the similarities?

[Joanna Pendleton]

first pic looks very like H. lividum. seems to look slightly different in the later pics. I'd prob just go with H. lividum though - could sex of T have any affect on slight differences in appearance? (I don't know what sex this one, or your H.lividum you are comparing with are)
