My MM 9 inch L. parahybana. When he spreads out he is really impressive looking.

When I was given my P irminia in her white plastic enclosure she would sit on the sides. I would put my hand up and spread out she was as big as my hand. I have small hands, 6", but that's pretty cool to see for me.

I have a ultimate male Avicularia Avicularia as of 3 months ago, he's 4.5 inches. Next, but soon to be biggest, is my 3" P. regalis sling. Fingers crossed for a female.

Hmm, my biggest overall is my H. schmidti. She's probably 6.5" and thick. My P. regalis is pretty close to that legspan but leggier, no where near as robust as the Haplo. It amazes me to think the schmidti is still growing, she's already so big lol

My C. fasciatum sling is a real monster. It's leg span is at least a quarter of an inch. Possibly less.

My P. irminia is a pretty good size. I've never measured her, but she's definitely more than 5''.

The user Spunky from DFW has a HUUUUUUUUUUGE P. Ornata. You should PM him for a pic. It looked around 9" but just molted.
I have a 7" Female Geniculata sitting on a sac and a over 10" (not trying to get too much closer to this one!) Female Strimi.

I would venture a guess that there are sum freaks out there in captivity or the wild that are record breakers possibly and 11" or 12" or bigger specimens..who knows?

I would say that's a tie between my Haplopelma hainanum and my Poecilitheria ornata that are both at about 7 inches. If I angle the ruler and bend it a bit, I can make that P. ornata a good 12 inches if you like :biggrin:

Got a 9.75 inch L. parahybana. He's just about to turn 1 yr old too. Please don't bother writing back to tell me that's impossible for itnto be that young. I bought him last November, he was about 1/2" he's molted about nine time since I purchased him and he's currently at Pet Kingdom scared out of his mind of the female we're trying to breed him with.
