my p.ornata and golden earth tiger

[huyhhhh1]

woot guy, my girl now is 9,7'' she is big as my hand, she look fat now,
and my new golden earth tiger she is 10'' , holy crap lol,

 

[winwin]

That's a nice looking T!

What's a golden earth tiger?

I can see the P. ornata getting that big, but I can't see that other one being 10".

EDIT: So, I googled, and apparently golden earth tiger is Haplopelma schmidti. I don't think any Haplo has ever been 10". Do you have/can you get a picture of it beside a ruler or something?

my haplo is WC, she big like my hand, and bigger than p.ornata

 

[Mack&Cass]

Being wild caught doesn't make a tarantula grow 4" more than it's maximum size. Unless you have really, really monstrous hands, then I highly doubt she's 10". 10" is like full grown Lp size....or a dinner plate.

I would really like to see a picture of her with a ruler beside her or something.

EDIT: Just want to add that I'm not trying to be nitpicky or rude, and I don't want to rain on your parade, I just think your idea of size is a little skewed. If it is indeed 10" then I will admit I'm wrong and will be pretty darn astounded. She is a gorgeous T.

I would like to see a 10 inch Haplopelma LOL.

Mate, I seriously doubt your assertions regarding your Haplopelma schmidti. I'm sorry to have to say this but to be realistic, the maximum confirmed size for a Haplopelma is 8". The largest members of the Selenocosmia group (that includes Pokies) are the Phlogius and Poecilotheria, with the largest confirmed member of this group by Steve Nunn (taking into account legspan, Cephalothorax dimensions and weight) being the Phlogius sp. Goliath that does get to 10". There are however huge members within the Selenocosmia group, with P. Ornata and P.Rufilata reaching 9"+ and Phlogius Crassipes and Phlogius Strenuus also getting to 9"+. Unless you can provide evidence to disprove what I have just said with a photo of your Schmidti next to a ruler, I can only assume you have a 7-8" specimen.

[Protectyaaaneck]

Nice T's but I doubt that they are that big.

 

[Scorpendra]

That's some monster of a Haplo! Think you can get her next to a ruler?
