i need help with my Bird eating spider

[will.harris88]

hi guys this is my new bird eating spider i just brought home....the pet shop told me he is a Species G, Bird eating spider.....can any1 help me with an actual name of the species? so i have more of an idea what to expect with him?

There is no such thing as a species G. Your spider is in the genus Selenotypus but other then that it is a bit hard to ID from that photo. You need perfect photo's from above, the sids and the back (angles shots would also help).

Closest sounding actual species to "Species G" would be "Species 3", but as Daniel said you'd need better pics to get a certain answer.
