Got this as a freebie and it was unlabeled. Was buying new world Terrestrials at the time. Is it too early to tell what it is?

Yes. I would wait until it hardens up a bit and then take another pic. :)

How is its demeanor? Is it swift? Aggressive? Docile? Laid back? Nervous?

T. albopilosus is my guess. Commonly given as a freebie, NW terrestrial, and your little one is starting to look like it’s having a bad hair day. I could be very wrong though. Keep posting pictures please until we can pin this down.

Ya know. I went to pick up 1 freebie from the breeder and that was a 1.5in T. Nicaraguan. He also gave me this one in question when i showed up so it just may be the same. We shall see.

The carapace color is making me doubt myself but the setae on the abdomen look like T vagans or T epicureanus.

My vagans slngs burrow, however, your's appears not to have... very curious.

Surprises can be fun!

I was thinking Vagans as I have an Epicureanum and they are priced consistantly at $50. This guy was a 2nd Freebie where my first was a 1.5in Albo Nicaraguan.

Im kinda likin this wait n see thing. Just got a bunch of cork wood. Im gonna give this guy a hide n dress it up a bit.
