Here’s a pic of a ~2.5” juvenile P. victori. One of the slower growing Psalmopoeus in my experience.

For lack of a better way for me to describe it, somewhat similar as far as coloration in the sling/juvinile stage as the P. reduncus at this stage with the green abdomen and carapace.

I consider this the ‘ugly duckling’ phase for the victori:

Imagine going through the ugly duckling phase and getting a male.

In your experience are they a little more chill than other Psalmopeous? Most videos I watch every spider is very well behaved.

All of my psalmopeous will threat pose. I think the calmest one I had was a cambridgei. She was pretty docile for psalms. Would always look for a retreat option. My male victori was the wildest. He loved to bolt.
I have a species black female now that is always out and about.
