Butt-load of babies

[padkison]

I stepped out last night to have a quick look for critters and found this glittering in the headlamp. About 1.5" legspan. Possible Hogna carolinensis.

Awesome

Good luck with the little ones.. feel free to send some my way if you have too many to care for..

Congratulations.

I don't think it's Hogna carolinensis. 1.5 in LS is way too small

 

[padkison]

Legspan is more like 2.25 inches.

Legspan is more like 2.25 inches.

Hi,

nevermind.

If it´d indeed be H. carolinensis, the legspan should be more like 3" to 4"....

Greetings,

Stefan

P.S. Take a look here, that´s more like it, still youngsters however....

No way mine is that large -> not H. carolinensis. Very similar in appearance except for size. It has a black ventral carapace, but not a black ventral abdomen.

Any ideas on the species? Here is a pic of another female I have that is without babies. She molted a couple months ago and is the same size as the mama.
