Genus Kochiana

Yes! Mine is hilarious. Yes she's tiny, but most newborn slings are, and this is a dwarf, so yuh she's gonna be tiny. How big do they max out at? Not that it matters, just curious. I think they are beautiful as adults, and this little sling is hilarious. Its feisty with its food..tries to drag around cricket legs that are three times longer than its entire body and I can see its tiny spinnerettes going the whole time. Small, but mighty! I can't wait till its big enough to get good shots of, and hopefully sex. My camera is good, but not THAT good

My Kochiana brunnipes molted recently (third time!) and finally has some adult colors coming in! Love this little one so much.

Gosh that male is so small compared to the massive female! Poor little guy - did he survive?

Yeah he's still alive. The female have been nice to him, and he gets the job done.

How intense is the gold color?

 

[Philth]

I never thought of them as gold, more pink-ish.

These are such cute little guys. With them being dwarves, do you think the females will have the same 5-7 years or so lifespan?

I didn't know 5-7 years was something associated with dwarfs. My adult females were spiderlings in march of 2007, so they are already 8 years old. Dam, time flys

Oh it could easily be wrong, that's just pretty much the only piece of info about it I was able to dig up from Google when I was looking into Cyriocosmus a while ago. If it's more like say, 8-10 years that'd be awesome :biggrin:
