[pato_chacoana]

thank's guys! she molted a few days ago and now she's living with a mature male

 

[fartkowski]

Wow She is beautiful.
How big is she?

 

[pato_chacoana]

Thank's Chris, she's about 6.5 inches now. Also she's a young female, just became adult with the last two molts. Hoping she breeds!

Best wishes,
Pato

BTW, Lampropelma nigerrimum is very early to sex. Females get black, males brown out. Here is a male in Nymph-Stage 4 (has molted three times as spiderling), with a total lengths of about 4,3 cm.
=> be careful when you buy slings at stage N3 or larger!



all the best,
Martin

Hi,

here are two more photos (not mine, so I can only post links) of two specimens in N4 stage:
>> male <<, >> female <<

Even in stage N3 I think to recognize the first differences.

all the best,
Martin

Hey Sean,

when did these come around?

Around where? If you mean the U.S., then late february... Chris (syndicate) and I each have 5. I believe that's it stateside so far, but I'm sure that will change.
