more like 7 1/2" if her legs were fully stretched.

@Venom1080 Agreed! But I wasn't about to stick my fingers in there to stretch them out

I measured her last molt. Indeed, over 7 inches!

@Anoplogaster thats a big vitatta, id be surprised if she got more than 1/2" bigger.

@Venom1080 She's big and surprisingly mellow for a pokie. I'm thinking of breeding her. If any of her desirable characteristics are genetic, I'd like to pass them on

The only thing holding me back is the fact that I've never paired tarantulas before. Would it be wise to start with something other than pokies?

@Anoplogaster if youe experienced at keeping Poecilotheria, you shouldnt have too much trouble breeding them.
