It looks like my old trapdoor. But I sure as hell wouldn't have EVER tried to hold it like that. They are nasty!!!!

I heard they're pretty aggressive so I was sort of surprised to see it being held in the photo as well.
Better get it in some substrate before it stresses itself to death. They do not like being out of their element in the least from what I understand.

She is a cutie isn't she? I took the pics as I was transferring her from her shipping container into her big pot of dirt and stuff. She was quite mellow but I think that was due to her trip. She is now safe and snug in a big container of dirt and stuff for her to build a new nest in. I definately wouldn't pick her up if she was alert and agressive, that's what padded tongs and containers are made for. She is in a fairly big container so I don't see a need to move her into anything different.
Tim - what kind of container did you keep yours in?
Thanks for all your replies.

Yup, looks like a cute little trap door spider. Wow, I'm suprised that you're able to handle her, the ones at my store are little brats. *L* She's a real cutie, good luck with her.

Thanks Erin. As I previously mentioned, I had just gotten her shipped and she was still dazed by the trip, otherwise you wouldn't catch my fingers near her! I am still waiting for her to build a new tunnel, nothing as of yet. I have her in a darker area with no foot traffic and loads of substrate, so she can feel secure.

I kept mine in a small clip down steralite container. 3/4 full of substrate. It will dig a burrow in no time.

When I saw the pics, the first thing that I thought of was trap door spider but the fact that there's a pic of someone holding it made me think again. However, I cannot think of anything else that looks like that that isn't a trapdoor spider.

That is definately a black trap door spider. If you want to be able to see it build a glass cage 12"x12-24"x1" thick. The spider will borrow down and after about 3 or so inches you should be able to see the spider in its borrow. That was some advice I got for my trap door spiders and it worked well. If it doesn't start to borrow start a hole yourself and manover the spider in front of it.
