Isn't it tiny?

Here is a pic of my 1/8" Lasiodora parahybana ( Brazilian Salmon Pink), its abdomen is starting to turn darker and has hair on it.

Tiny yeah... but as soon as you look away for a few minutes it will have moulted two or three times

Nice Pic......i have a sling that small its a V. Cristatus....and they look the same ...i guess cause there sooo small....do you feed it dead crickets ? :? If not it works great , my V.Criststus is doing great with dead crickets....any ways good luck and nice T keep us up dated !!

If this is your first parahybana you're in for a treat! This is a great spider, I love mine to bits!

Each time mine moults it doubles in size right now its probably 3.5". It used to be pretty docile but after the last molt and move it seems to be a little more skittish.

here's a pic of my A. anax....they are very slow growers....i've got a couple that my buddy gave me that i've had for over 2 months with no molt still....he told me the anax from the TX area usually take about 7-8 years to mature so it'll be a while before i see any major size difference....

yes, it is my first salmon pink, i look forward to it growing big :drool: , I read they get 8-10".I feed mine part of a dead pinhead cricket, its a good little eater, it ate 1/4 of its cricket. Should I feed it a couple times a week so it grows faster? Right now I only feed it once or twice a week.


oops, lol I have to make a correction, the posted pic is not of my Brazilian salmon pink but of my Brazilian Red&White.
My salmon pink is quite a bit bigger than the red&white

Oh my Lord! 8 yrs to get mature..that´s long time man.I recently got one A.texense ling the same size as yours.Gosh...have to wait a decade!

 

[solaceofwinter]

unfortunately, yes....7-8 years for A. texense too....a lot of the Aphonopelma species from the US/Mexico border area are very slow growers....

[Crimsonpanther]

before molt

after molt

 

[solaceofwinter]

wow! did your spider make any kind of web or burrow before its molt? im trying to find some more definite tell tail signs of a molt besides darkening and not eating.

 

[xgrafcorex]

..

EDIT: it just molted 11/17/05...looks about the same size as yours demonhunter

if your talking to me, no it jsut started refusing food and getting a darker abdomen.

actually come to think of it it started webbing the entire surface area in the container, and then finally molt.
