Dwarf Species Thread

[cheetah13mo]

This is for anyone and everyone to post in.


This was suggested in another post and I thought it was a good idea. I'm not sure what is concidered dwarf but I'm going to go with any species that in general does not get over 4 inches when mature. Does that sound about right?



I'll start with my H. incei sling. It's around 1/2 inch in these pics.

Heres my P. scrofa. It's only about 3/4 of an inch here. Nice mirror patch too.

And this is my C. fasciatum. It's around 1 3/4 to 2 inches.

nice shots bud. I like the H.incei best

how big does h. incei get?

how big does h. incei get?

The males usually get around 2 1/2 to 3 inches and the females will get up to 3 1/2.

At the expo. I saw a 4.5-5" female Cyclosternum fasciatum.

Thanks for the correction. I've heard that but I'm just not sure whats concidered dwarf. This will be a good thread to answer that question.

No problem, I didn't know they got that big until I saw that one. That one was a monster and beautiful at that!

Phlogiellus baeri from south-east asia gets to only 2 to 2.5" LS. one of the true dwarves.

Well, are you going to post a pic of it here. That's what I put the thread up here for. Thanks.

 

[cheetah13mo]

Here are a few dwarf species. I'm suprised the elegans has not been posted in here yet. I feel like this is my thread. I hope others have pics to add of their dwarf species.

C. elegans

 

[cheetah13mo]

Heres one I don't know much about. It's size is close to the elegans above.

C. flavostiata

Personally, there's no point duplicating the posting of pictures. I place all my pictures into the Genus threads.

Here are some of the genus threads that contain dwarf species:

Aphonopelma

Cyriocosmus

Eucratoscelus

Heterothele

Holothele

Metriopelma

Those are the ones I'm familiar with, but by no means a complete list.

 

[cheetah13mo]

The point is that they can be found in one place instead of searching for something we don't know to look for. I personally would like to know all the dwarf species but I have no idea how to find them all because I don't know all the names. If others would post pics then those of us that don't know would learn. We can't learn if we don't know what to look for. I really hope others will post some pics and info on their species.

Ornithoctonus sp. "Koh Samui" These guys reach approx. 3" max. They are obligate burrowers and will look very similar to Ornithoctonus aureotibialis when grown, but they lack the orange tint on the front legs.

Yamia sp. "Koh Samui" Reach approx. 2". They are also burrowers and they create alot of webbing also.

Cyriocosmus elegans

I also have H. incei but I don't have any recent pics of them, they never come out of their holes.

 

[cheetah13mo]

Nice pics Lorgakor. The first two I've never seen before. Where did you find them? Thanks for shareing.

 

[cheetah13mo]

Here's an update on my little, molted H. incei.

I got them from a chap in Scotland.

 

[moricollins]

can also add:

Plesiophrictus to the list of genera that stay small (generally), I think.
