Probably 5" - 5.5" DLS if I had to guess. Male matured around 4.25" and the female was receptive at the same size. Definently on the larger side to be considered a "dwarf"That's cool. So what do you think is adult size for these - 5" DLS?
I mean, you get three chances lol. It's an obligate fossorial if that helps narrow it down lol.I have no idea so I'm letting someone else take a guess. Might be able to narrow it down once some hits go off.![]()
Nope. Good guess, but these are actually a Thai species.Ok, it looks silver to me, how about Ornithoctoninae sp. “Vietnam Silver”?
Lol very, VERY close. Some people think it might end up being a dark color form of O. aureotibialis, but from the spermatheca comparison I've seen, I'm rather doubtful.Ornithoctonus aureotibialis?
I thought about getting one the other day.
Winner, winner. AFAIK, there isn't a large and small variant, but they are a smaller species. Dwarf is a subjective term though and tends to also be a buzzword to drive sales and up the price. I got my 0.1 for $140 as a WC import @ 3" DLS. I saw sling prices the other day and had sticker shock lol. Guess it's just supply and demand.....O. sp. Ranong blue. You mentioned that you thought they were too big to be considered dwarves, but I see them being called dwarves all over the place. Is there a large and small variant that you know of?
Sling prices are pretty high, although I got a good deal on my trio. They're growing well, but are still pretty small, so not surprising they don't get huge.Winner, winner.

Anyways, your go.
thanks!!!Sling prices are pretty high, although I got a good deal on my trio. They're growing well, but are still pretty small, so not surprising they don't get huge.
I want to pass my turn to @Ultum4Spiderz - he's been itching to play. Ultum - your turn to post one and we'll try to guess what it is.
Well, this thread is for you to know what it is already and everyone else to try to guess... It'll be hard to name a winner if you can't say who made the right guess because you don't know what it is either,thanks!!!
Here’s one I’ve been trying to id for years let the experts figure it out.
7”-8” I think but the body size is huge almost 4”. View attachment 454720
I was stumped for years. It’s One of the larger species.yes I do know which species it is.Well, this thread is for you to know what it is already and everyone else to try to guess... It'll be hard to name a winner if you can't say who made the right guess because you don't know what it is either,. How about we just go with the first person to guess the species that the majority agrees with?
Def a Pamphobeteus (and one of the species with the Christmas tree pattern), I'm going with P. sp. "Mascara".thanks!!!

WinnerDef a Pamphobeteus (and one of the species with the Christmas tree pattern), I'm going with P. sp. "Mascara".
Pamphobeteus is a mess genus-wise: I still have issues with which exact locale of P. cf. "antinous" I have (though I do know they're not the real antinous and that they're supposedly not P. sp. "Pucallpa").Winner!!! That was quick took me a while to hunt down which one it was. I ordered it as a pink bloom.
P ornata?Pamphobeteus is a mess genus-wise: I still have issues with which exact locale of P. cf. "antinous" I have (though I do know they're not the real antinous and that they're supposedly not P. sp. "Pucallpa").
Anyways, next spider on the list (this is an older image from months ago, it has been rehoused and has molted once since then)

This should be an easy one, unless it turns out it's not what I think it is...which might not be too surprising given recent events.
See, told you that would be easy.P ornata?
