looks like rosea to me also. Wouldn’t hurt to check scopula to rule out sp concepcion but the color doesn’t look like concepcion to me dueto being more red whee concepcion is kinda orange, and the carapace looks more purple vs more brown in concepcion (though i don’t trust pictures to be 100% acurate with colors) Definitley looks too red for porteri or sp north.
@Vanessa hmm. Ok. I will have to check that out.
Do they really grow super slow???
The person they came from said they got them as a sling in 2016...so it took over 3 years to be 2"...does that make sense?
@StormyMyth729 Growth rate partially depends on feeding schedule and temperatures. Are you sure that spider is 2"DLS? They look larger to me. The one in my photo was about 2" at the time. My sp. Concepcion male is already mature at only about 3.5"... he's far smaller mature than I was expecting.
However, fed sparingly and kept at lower temperatures, I could see this species taking three years to get to the 2-3" mark.
