Im not to busy to find out, ill just wait till he/she molts, and check in the microscope ;) Im suspecting the seller to be right, as far as i could see, but its a bit difficult with a spider that small, who dosnt want to stand still, for more than a second at the time, once removed from its web:wall: .

Actualy Im hoping its a male, got plenty (or atleast some) friends with females;)

Thx a bunch seanbond ;)

Anastasia As I said before, im not desperate to find out, (if i were Id make it stand still to sex it my self) it will take some time for him/her to be ready for breeding anyway, so Ill just wait for it to molt, it would be another story, if we were talking about a spider close to maturity.

In all threads where this spider have been discussed, some find it hardly overrated, others really love it- weather it is worth the cost, i guess lies in the eyes of the beholder.

My opinion..... Heck yehr- worth every dime ;)

The rush i felt when i finaly got it was undescribeable, and the joy i got from teasing my friends, with the fact that i got it- they dont, are just great {D

Sometimes you just have to pay what it costs, to get something a bit out of the ordinairy, and yes a bit expensive but the prices are not what they were just 6 months ago ;)

You are absolutely going to L.O.V.E. the uber-cool webbing these beauties give you....*bigsigh*

Congrats on getting one of the best there is ...... I really hope it turns out to be a girl. We could use more of these breeding in the hobby. :clap:

We named our girl "My Precious" (you have to say it like Golem..lol)
They are truly wonderful and Holy Cow - they're beautiful when grown....:cool:

Congrats again! :clap: :clap:

Funny that you named yours "My Precious" as in Golem's quote, because I named my girl "Silmaril" after the sacred jewels in The Silmarillion, the history book written by Tolkien that preceded the Lord of the Rings and explained the creation of Middle Earth and surrounding lands.
