My parahybana is about 1.5 inches right now, but I can't wait until she is a beauty like yours! Great pic.

Thanks Rick. I got her when she was between 2.5" and 3" from e-spiderworld, and she has grown like a weed!

My largest L. parahybana recently molted and it is now starting to actually look like what it will as an adult.

I was looking back through some pictures I've taken of it. It's neat to see the subtle darkening with each molt...

I received it on 1/5/2005 and it was about 0.5"

It molted on 2/11/05 and it grew to about 0.75"

It molted on 4/8/05 and grew to about 1"

It molted on 5/30/05 and grew to about 1.25"

It molted on 7/3/05 and grew to about 1.5"

It molted again on 8/11/05 and is now about 2"

Awww thats so sweet, the last piccie looks like mine looks now only yours has all its limbs lol.

Mine is about the same age, and had molted about the same times minus this last molt. I'm expecting a molt here pretty soon. Were you able to sex that last molt or is it still too small?

 

[Big and Hairy]

Nice pics becca. It's amazing how fast this species grows.

Yeah, I'm about 90% sure that it's a male. I've put the last two molts under the microscope and I've not been able to see anything that would lead me to believe it is female...

 

[Big and Hairy]

Don't give up hope. At that size, it could be very difficult to confirm the sex. At least it would be for me.

 

[Mr Ed]

Oh well, even if it is a male I bet you still have at least a year or so until he reaches his ultimate molt. Then again as fast as he's grown who knows.

 

[cacoseraph]

that was very cool!

 

[tmanjim]

yeh becca they grow fast. i got mine for free at lee watsons swap whn i bought a curly hair. that was about 17 months ago and he is at about 6 inches now. when i got hin it was in a vile and i could barely see him. they are one of the best.

I got her how L. parahybana, but I'm not completely sure... It can be a Lasiodora klugi...
I have 20 spiderlings of L. klugi, but they have only 3-4cm, comparision is not possible...

Let me know yours opnions...
