Tell me what you think since it molted...

[Chris_Skeleton]

Well I bought it thinking P. scrofa, posted a pic on here and others said P. scrofa. Well it's molted, so what's the final verdict?

 

[Niloticus]

I'd say P. Scrofa, it looks identical to the P. Scrofa's I've got from Swift's in the past.

I have two P. scrofas at the moment, one freshly molted, and still a good match. Still looks small, too, if the waterdish is a small ramekin.

The waterdish is a pill bottle cap.

I'm second guessing only because I have seen a lot of pics of E. truculentus that look like that. Mine is ~2.5"

 

[mcluskyisms]

Certainly not Euathlus truculentus, how long have you had it and has it moulted in your care?

<edit>

Can you get a shot of the rear of the abdomen?

I've had it 2-3 months and it has just recently molted, as mentioned in the title

How much did it grow after the moult?

I'll try and get one up tonight. What are you looking for?

Not much. I don't have an exact measurement. Maybe .5"??

To see if it has the stripe markings to the rear of the abdomen near the spinnerets.

Wooh! Look at that gold!!

And the backside... Hope it's clear enough.

Looks like Paraphysa sp. chile bronze, or sp. chile pygme??.....not pink enough for scrofa...

heres a freshly molted scrofa of mine for comparison,...

 

[mcluskyisms]

I was thinking more Paraphysa sp. "Tiger" or Paraphysa sp. "Pygmea" .

 

[Mez]

Aren't sp. pygmea tiny?

 

[mcluskyisms]

Aren't sp. pygmea tiny?

Yeah females are only meant to get to 2" or so, just noticed he said his is 2.5" As mentioned by Levi it doesn't look much like P.scrofa so I'm guessing P. sp. "Tiger"

When you say sp. "Tiger" that would be the same as sp. "Chilean Tiger" correct? If so, I also purchased another spider that I was told was a P. sp. "Chilean Tiger". This one is tiny. It is about 1.5" to 2". I don't have a ruler :wall:

Here it is:

Yes, tigers are small!...I have 2 that look jus like yours Chris....and previous posts about it not being pymea are prolly right, due to its size...thats why im leaning towards paraphysa sp chile bronze.....

....def a nice lil Paraphysa tho!
