How big do Avicularia Braunhauseni get?

 

[Valael]

Gah, you're right. Common names piss me off and I can't even spell the scientific names. I'm doomed.

Names

Hi

Yes, I was confused awhile between the Goliath Pinkfoot and the Goliath Pinktoe, but the Latin straightened that out.

It's a real beauty and it has a temper as well

I have to admit, I didn't think it was all that special aside from it's size once matured but I'm loving it after a molt especially the pink area on it's toes.
