A mature male Plexippus paykulli, which promptly mated with my adult female after putting him in her enclosure:

As usual, I end up identifying the animal myself. :rolleyes:
The vinegaroon seems to be a Typopeltis species, possibly crucifer. New photos:

where was the animal captured? (I mean country of origin)
Also where is your identification based on?

Singapore. The red legs and region of origin narrows it down to the genus Typopeltis.

Nice pics! I was kind of hoping for a full shot of the vin. Are you keeping it?

I could get a full body shot, although it isn't my style. Yeah I am keeping it. I have a few unanswered questions, by the way:
1) Exactly what species is mine?
2) How long do they live?
3) What substrate should I use?
4) Do they dig tunnels/burrows, per se?
5) How often should I offer food?
