sp. machalla MM

I want one of these sooooo bad! Any idea where I might find one?

I just purchased a machalla sling at convention in Sacramento, ca. A few online dealers on here have me, like Becker and Rossi.

That Solaris pair are amazing btw!! Can't decide which is prettier, the male or female.

Beautiful girl! Is she mature size yet?

No, still a few molts to go. She's 5" now.

What's the full size for sp. machalla?

 

[Olan]

I have heard they get pretty big:

I would guess 8" at least
Anyone here have a full grown female?

Anyone have any pics of pamphobeteus sp. "Tigris" or "Ultima"?

1.0 Pamphobeteus sp. machalla. Wish I hadn't broke my old camera so I could get a better shot of the carapace.

Wait, so is yours a 0.1 or a 1.0?

Woops, my mistake it's an 1.0, thanks for pointing it out for me.

Love that pink, do they keep it as juvies and adults? Looking to get another pampho, but would love one that has at least a tiny bit of color as a female

This is my first Pampho, so I'm not sure about juvenile and adults, Olan has a picture of a sub-adult female at post #902 and she's gorgeous. I was so bummed out when I found out he was a boy but at least I'll get to see those gorgeous mature male colors. I'd definitely recommend sp.machalla, mines very very quick to flick hairs but I don't have that much of a reaction, and of course as with most Pamphos their feeding response is crazy.

sp. Machala females keep the purple color for a lot longer than most female pamphs, but I think they do eventually brown out. Completely awesome spider though.

Oh, got it. My dream of a colorful female pampho less than $300 is a bust Still is my favorite genus, may end up getting a machala. My sp. Goliath plugged up it's burrow, so I need some that are willing to eat and be out
