i, too, bought a spider labeled as a 'vietnamese tiger rump'. it looks nothindg like yours. i've dubbed it H. minax. its mostly black with a greenish hue, with a bit of yellowish striping on the knees. sadly, no purple
@gakido99 I've had really great results with giving the spider a makeshift burrow along the glass of the case and giving it shallower soil. That way, they choose the premade burrow/tunnel over making one of their own and it is easier to see them.
(it also makes it MUCH easier to check on her during molts without disturbing her.)
My little babe is a Grammostola Pulchripes but the principle still applies.
(She also has a wider tank, so she explores a lot more).

Local pet store, about $50. I haven't seen him since I filmed this, he's pretty much just a pet hole.
