Thanks. I would also like to know what is the average size of an adult P.metalica?
Perhaps Henrik or one of the other European breeder-collectors will let us know how large their biggest female is. They have wild-collected stock that would be older than any CB specimens.

The female that was successfully bred by Swifty was 5.5" in legspan. My largest female is about the same size [and is a sibling]. However, both of our spiders are young and I would imagine still growing. I'm guessing that they are in the 6-7" range along with the majority of species.

Cheeers,

Michael

I was told they were about the same size as regalis, so your probably right in the ballpark with your estimate Michael......

For small animals they have such long generational times! So many questions easily answered....in time! We just have to wait for these guys to mature....
