I got this T from a local pet store advertised as a "True Zebra". (pictured below). I cross refferenced that and found the name Eupalastrus campestratus but looking at photos I see many more likely possibilities.
Based on this pic what else do I need to look at to further narrow it down?
In a lot of similar threads I see people told to check markings on the underside which makes me wonder about handling Ts. What is a safe and stress free method for checking their undersides? I have an Avic that hangs out on the wall of the enclosure so a 360 view isn't difficult. but this guy sits flat on the ground.
What is the best method for picking them up - getting them to walk on your hand or is there a safe way to grip their midsection to lift them? Would gripping their midsection only be suitable for spiders over a certain size if at all?
