Avic. Avic "Ditto" and Avic. versicolor "Bonnie"

I love these two, though I definitely would not mind to have a purpurea.

How big is she ?
Very beautiful spider.

I didn't measure her actually but she was touching 5" before her molt and didn't appear to grow any. She's ready for some loving.

 

[xanadu1015]

How much do purpurea's usually go for?

 

[MRL]

Slings anywhere from 50-70. Started I've only seen two people offer them and at 70-100. The person offering them at 70 also sold slings for 30. I assume he bred them.

Well.....I finally got it here at the house!

I snapped some pics of her as soon as i got her home. She is very docile and is not jumpy.

Definate female and in need of a molt really bad! Hopefully soon!

Very nice Chris, she will be even more beautiful after the molt!

Great T and Great enclosure.

That is a great enclosure. I have a A. purpurea as well, but mine is only 1 1/4 inches. I can't wait until it starts showing color. Yours is beautiful, even without the moult. You gave me some much needed ideas for future housing, thanks!!!
