Lasiodora difficilis - 1+"
I would have sworn they were male from the last moult, but this looks like they could be female.
It's funny. I got this little one as a 1/4" freebie and I considered giving them to a friend because this genus is kind of outside my comfort zone. Combine that with their adult size and I really was nervous about keeping them.
But they have really grown on me in the last few months. Never shown anything close to defensive behaviour, even during rehousing, never fasted, always out where I can see them... it's been a very fun experience.
So, it is a bit of a nice surprise if Sprite ends up being female. I will definitely confirm with a moult... hopefully the next one will be good enough. :)
