I agree with beetleman. If Tom (Philth) sees this he can weigh in too

Well you are way closer than I was beetleman, thank you. Africactenus poecilus looks right if the quick search I did was accurate.

Thanks

Yes, Africactenus poecilus. They get pretty leggy and long. Cool spider, I just bred a pair and got like 500 tiny slings form it.

Later, Tom
