:} God i want one...

I guess I'll just have to wait till the next invert/herp show in May at the state fair in Raleigh. I can't seem to find any dealers who have them available.

Here,s a large varient of E murinus,this specimen is due a molt and has a leg span of just over 7".
I may be wrong but E. murinus do not flick hairs from their abdomens, right? Instead, they flick from their padipalps or is the baldness due to stress? :confused: Can someone shed some light?

Any chance to get a pic of that 7"+ t with a ruler?
yeah no problem as soon as she molts,she is burrowed in at the moment! I use to have pictures of her beside a ruler ill try and find them! And she is fairly docile aswell,which is strange!I once sent a cast skin to a mate in england and he was gobsmacked at the size of it! :eek:

The patch you see is from the last molt it was a piece of cast skin that i never managed to get removed before she hardened,if i had to remove it now i would have tore the new skin underneath,but she has molted again and is perfectly fine now :) ;)

My female E. murinus just molted today. I can't get over how pretty she is!! :)

I measured the molt, once I took it out. It's 6.5"! :eek: I'm wondering if she's grown anymore. I'll find out after the next molt, I guess.
