Held her with gloves on at first to kind of test the waters. She's really very skittish. Here's what she looks like: http://tinyurl.com/292o49
I have a picture of me holding the Octavia. I'll post it here if I can find it.
Originally posted by StarrmanYep, that's what she is...a Chilean Rose. My first one was a Pink Toe. All black with pink feet.

It has black on the tips of it's feet and thingies around it's mouth (I guess they aren't pincers after all). And it's body is large like that, but it is completely white, kind of milky color.
I could FedEx it to you if you like, it appears to be alive still, though not happy about being in the jar.

The green on the spider in the picture is from the leaf's reflection I think. It's white. Does your spider have those brown stripes on the sides of it's abdomen?

It sounds to me like it maybe the Mexican Grape Spider. They lay their eggs inside the grapes, then they hatch 12 hours after being eaten. I hope you didn't eat the grapes. 😕
Seriously, I tried doing a search for Mexican Grape Spider. Nothing. I think you just made it up.
