Hey guys so I rescued this poor thing from our LPS It was tagged as a grey starburst Baboon. I have been watching this T for 7 mos. And was hoping someone would buy it....well I own it now yaaa:) So I am pretty sure its an OBT Pterinochilus murinus but can anyone confirm this? so here is what it came in to what I put it in. Also can anyone sex it for me?
Thanks a bunch all:)

For sure, I've got both P. Lugardi and P. Murinus. It's definitely P. Lugardi. Mine basically dug out this HUGE burrow and covered the hole. I haven't seen her but she hasn't eaten and she's always digging more out of her burrow.

I would try deeper substrate. If it's anything like mine, you'll need it. All the substrate is up around the outside of the burrow like a mountain and she didn't like it wet at all.

Looks like P. lugardi but it can go for P. murinus non usambara (gold/grey).

This is positivly a Pterinochilus lugardi due to the absence of any Scopulae on the chelicerae prolateral. I wish I had Ryans Camera but I can tell there is no Scopulae IRL.
