Lasiodorides striatus questions

[Manolitro02]

H guys, I'm thinking in buy a tarantula for my collection , the options are Lasiodorides striatus female or pamphobeteus antinous female. Lasiodorides striatus is cheaper tan the other and I hear that they can have a big body. My question is how big can be the body of lasiodorides striatus? Regards

Lasiodorides striatus reaches at least 7” inches. L. striatus is also a slow growing tarantula. This species is a good hardy tarantula. L. striatus is a long lived tarantula. Don’t be surprised if a female lives up to 25+++ years.

Pamphobeteus antinous grows fairly quickly in size. Gets bigger than Lasiodorides striatus. This species is also a good hardy tarantula.
Both species are good species to have in anyone’s collection. The problem between both of them is, one L. striatus grows slower than P. antinous. Basically if you were to grow both of them from sling at the same time within a year from when they were born L. striatus would probably be 1.5” inch Vs P. antinous 5” inch tarantula lol. Though P. antinous has a shorter lifespan and will flick satea hairs at you more often than what you want them to when disturbed .

Both are good looking tarantulas.

Thank you very much for the information mate. I have another question that is ,what its the lenght of their bodys without the legs?

I wouldn’t know. I never measure body without the legs on any tarantulas. I find that to be a waste of time.

I only say it to know which has the biggest carapace

Well since Pamphobeteus gets larger it will be Pamphobeteus.
