Avicularia m6 size

[Tarantuland]

I got a MF avic m6 today that is the largest avic I’ve ever seen. It’s well over 6” I think. Gonna try to get a good measurement later. I lucked out and got a MM today as well so hopefully I’ll have some big babies down the road. What’s the biggest avicularia or some of the biggest you’ve seen?

Enclosure here is a 8x8x12 exoterra

i heard the juruensis m2 can get 7" aswell as, sp amazon and sp braunshauseni (which is an Avic avic morph, but i cant remember which)

Biggest avic I've ever seen in person was a 6.5'' A. avic M2 (A. braunshenseni) which was mislabeled as an A. avic for $30. It was female and offered to me, but I said no to it. My rule for buying females is that a male must be locatable if I'm buying it, other wise, it's not really worth getting one. It did have the most beautiful red dense setae on leg IV, I might get it if it's still there in the future.

Until I see a ruler right with the legs of an Avic, I can't believe it. I read a forum post in the UK with a woman claiming to have 8" sp Kwitara River, never saw pic. I have never seen an Avic over 6", doesn't mean it does not happen. I'd be psyched if they reached the size of P rufi's!

Are you referring to sp. amazonica? IF so, it is classified as A. variegata

I think the biggest one I've ever seen was an adult female A. avicularia M6 that was slightly over 6in.

Maybe

Maybe

haha, you aren't sure what you are referring to...or not sure if you are referring to variegata?

not sure if its variegata, i dont really keep up with it

I was asking because i haven't heard of sp amazon. SO I was wondering what you were referring to that's all.

Ok I realize this basically shows 5” but you can see she’s not stretched all the way out and ill try to get a better picture later

A little better but she’s still not all the way stretched. I think she’s right around 6”

I had a pair of juronesis mt 6 females that were both 6.5"

Thanks! Nice size!

Here is with a ruler…and visible posture to indicate that she’s bigger than I prove with a ruler.

Exo’s do not count. That’s like measuring Snake’shed skin

Lol if she pulls through the post molt I’ll get some good pics. She’s old so idk if she’s gonna make it through the next couple weeks to a meal.

Molts are usually closest I get to measuring a t unless it goes into stretching mode. So say a molt is 7” and the t got bigger and in that case the molt is smaller than the t. At 7.5”…
How much would you subtract from a molt to make it realistic?

I thought DLS varies quite a bit due to posture and that's why the Europeans do carapace (body length) measurements?
