Can someone tell me the ideal size for a 9" terrestrial species? And can you give me the dimensions? I'm gonna get a specially made acrylic or glass enclosure to display my G. Pulchra.
Thanks.9" pulchra ?! Magnificent ! I think I would go with a 20 gallon long half filled with substrate, give her a little room for a midnight stroll. I've got one that is about 12"x12"x30" which might be a touch overkill but if you've got a beautiful display animal like that you want to make something grand for her imo. I am super jelly, g. pulchra has as yet evaded me.
A circus tent, because if it's really a 9" Grammostola pulchra, you have a freak of nature.Can someone tell me the ideal size for a 9" terrestrial species? And can you give me the dimensions? I'm gonna get a specially made acrylic or glass enclosure to display my G. Pulchra.
That's what I thought when I first read the post, hence the reason I didn't reply, I have got to see this 9" G. pulchra - have you ever seen one over 6" - me neither, OP please post a picture with a size reference beside the spider, for some odd reason I don't think it's going to be posted. By all means prove me wrong, this I must see!You have a 9 inch G. pulchra?! This I gotta see. Pics please
I hate to call you a liar but that's gotta be an exaggeration, G.pulchra seldom reach over 7-8" and even those are huge specimens. Post a picture of your T next to a ruler, if it's truly that size this needs to be documented, for future reference.Can someone tell me the ideal size for a 9" terrestrial species?

I agree completely. Spider keepers like to exaggerate sometimes. I've seen postings for 12" P regalis in my area.I hate to call you a liar but that's gotta be an exaggeration, G.pulchra seldom reach over 7-8" and even those are huge specimens.

I've never seen one over the six inch mark, it's possible but I've never seen one that big. As for 9" well....I hate to call you a liar but that's gotta be an exaggeration, G.pulchra seldom reach over 7-8" and even those are huge specimens.

That was my suspicion.Maybe it's not a pulchra, but a P.antinous...that species gets rather large....
I'm fairly sure that 7" is about as big as they get.That was my suspicion.
I have a very large pulchra around the 7inches mark. Even at that i think she is large for her species

Sorry, what was that, still no picture......mmmI'm fairly sure that 7" is about as big as they get.
Yeah... I'm going with what @Andrea82 said seeing as I've previously described P. antinous females as "G. pulchra on steroids".Sorry, what was that, still no picture......mmm
