I agree with Bill here, its either a Chilean copper or another sp. of the genus Paraphysa, Good Luck anyways!
Nice to see what my little 1/4 inch p. scrofa (Chilean Copper) is gonna look like when it grows up!
Yup, thats what it looks like , thanks for all the help. Next im gonna post pics of my stripe knees, i need help figuring those all out , what a mess.
well, at least it doesn't take up much room. My little sling is all over its container today..after spending three days closed up in its burrow. I thought perhaps it was molting...guess not.Originally posted by minax
Beautiful spider! Mine is more copper colored on the carapace. I love them; It tackles anything that it thinks is food! One time it even jumped on the tongs I was using! They are funny in that, they try so hard, tackling the food and rolling over on it's back even, to get the job done. But genetically they are not as gifted to be as quick as some spiders( short legs, big rump!). But mine is very spirited and enthusiastic. I purchased it last may from Swifty, and D.D. is right, they are a slow grower, though mine is not doing too bad compared to some others I have heard of. It started out as a micro 1/4", now it's about a 1 1/4".
