This spider was sold to me as a "crab spider, probably Heteropoda".

Are there anyone out there with some knowledge on these guys? Any chance of a better labeling here...?

Appreciate any help :)

Looks like a H venatoria I think. Not sure though, cause there are alot of similar Heteropoda sp.

Hi,
you canīt identify a species by a picture, but because Heterpoda venatoria and Heteropoda immanis are the usually sold Heteropoda, I think itīs one of this species.

Heteropoda immanis? Don't you meen Holconia immanis(insignis)? They are not simimlar besides they are both huntsmen spiders.

The spider on your pics COULD be a H venatoria, but is definatly NOT a H immanis.

Hi,
o sorry, there isnīt a heteropoda immanis.
But holconia immanis is also a huntsman, too.
