Sorry to burst your bubble man :D, but that Parahybana is not even close to the Blondi. She might have 10" leg span...but thats about it :D
A 10" LS is better than having a huge body with 8 match sticks coming from the sides {D
At least mine looks like a normal spider......hope you notice I did call it a "spider"....lol
Nice try though buddy :)

jeez flemming. it's not something to argue about. post a few ruler pics and boop we all have the answer. the fact you can only post goofy angle and weird perspective pics, and your spider STILL DOESN'T LOOK AS BIG can only lead me to think you actually know what everyone else already knows

fran's > flemming's


i think fran's is the largest spider i have ever seen a ruler pic of. that is a beast and a half!

I've never seen a parahybana that can compare to the body size of Fran's Blondi. I'm amazed that blondi can move at all. She does have short legs compared to her mass. Fran, do you stick food right in her fangs? I can't imagine her moving too fast to catch much. :)

Defeat should never be a source of discouragement, but rather a fresh stimulus.

Don't take it so hard Paul, it's ok to be 2nd best. ;P

I don't have any T's over maybe 7" so i'm just a tourist here.

She used to eat a lot, allways acting like if she didnt eat in years.
Got really well acclimated,nice temps...
Actually with the legs spread it does appears weird,besides, in the pic of the leg spread she was 6 hours dead,and really, she lost quite a lot of girth.
I never extremely spread the legs,they were spread, but not tight.
In the other pics you could see the thickness of her normall standing legs.
Huge body lenght, and really heavy.

I bet she has lot's of growing to do yet. You may have a record maker someday. Have you ever weighed her?

She's dead, so I don't think she'll be growing much more. :}

Oops - Fran beat me to it.

Tailing an Lq,handling an Androc,handling a funnel web,handling pokies plus all the other T's.......that's enough for one life time.
The only one I have not done is the hahni and there is no chance of that happening

stop talking and start posting ruler pics!

you have totally screwed up this thread, the least you could do is post a freaking ruler pic to make up for it a little bit

those LPs have bad venom.

really though, it wouldn't be that hard to lay a ruler in the enclosure and just wait. LPs are active enough. well, you're not going to do it anyway, but it was just a thought.
