And I have heard of the infamous 13" Theraphosa apophysis but there has been no recorded proof or evidence that it really exisited

Unless someone has a non-photoshopped picture of a full 13" Theraphosa apophysis, this is just an urban legend...



EDIT: You have to be careful about info found on the net, you could end up getting answers like these!!

The Pamphobeteus antinous can get as large as to 8-10 inches. The Pamphobeteus nigriclor can grow get as large as 7-9 inches As a matter fact almost all Pamphobeteus tarantulas are very large.

true 13" spiders are kind of legends but the 13" T apothysis was said to be a male.. wild females could grow larger. or just max at 12-12.5" and look bigger

until I see proof I guess its just a LEgend.. Hoping to be found:biggrin:
12" T Blondie is largest commonly known T

well alot of people say that it only gets 10...im sure 11 does happen, and im sure in the wild eating whatever they come acoss, they may go bigger...but from everything i have seen, they get 10 max...and most caresheets on the web are crap...they seem to all copy off one another...notice almost all of them have the same wording...

I'm offering a positive YES to 3 personal giants of the collection.
- Theraphosa stirmi 9" easy and still growing (and a ridiculously big "fang" size).
- Pamphobeteus antinous 8" and still growing
- Lasiodara parahybana 8" and still growing

..for an arboreal, I'd say Poecilotheria ornata is up there on the arboreal list.

Agreed. I wasn't saying it was impossible for a LP to reach 11, but I just have yet to see one, like many others here...

A beginner's lineup

I am just a newbie when it comes to T's and I think one of the biggest tarantulas is Nhandu Chromatus. It's a bird-eater, right?

They do become fairly large, but to answer the question, too many tarantulas are considered "bird-eaters", and that is just a name that people attirbute to large spider. Technically, you can call whatever you want a bird-eater, and in the end, the scientific name will win. ;)

I like Holothele incei, the trinidad olive gold bird's egg-eater ;P Mine are all cricket-eaters though...
