Nice T. :clap:

The abdomen and the spinerets are pretty longer than usual.

Thanks mate,

longer than usual compared to what? if you mean longer than most aussie t's spinerette's then i disagree, these spinerette's are quite stubby compared to most phlogius and such, and to me the abdomens quite rounded and short to
I really dont see them as being long at all maybe its just me :?

I very much agree. But I think he refered to "usual" as being the usual spiders in captivity, like new world species.

Sorry mate, I really made some confusion..
I was not talking about aussie Ts.
I am not used to Selenocosmia especies at all.
I think the reason that the abdomen sounded longer to me is because their hairs are shorter than the especies Im used to... :?

i believe there are, just not from australia. i think there are some from Java or something

This species actually belong in the genus Selenotholus, and there aren't any of those in the hobby
