I was attracted to this because it was an apohysis breeding report, hoping to score your male for my two females. Too bad I live in the states... Good luck with the upbringing.

T.Blondi / T.Apophysis size??

Ok I would like to ask a question here, please try to answer honestly.
No lies, everybody will have a tendancy to exagerate here but I shall ask anyway.
Who's got a huge T at home 8 inches and up lets hear it.
They get huge but we do not see a lot of big specimens around.
My T.Blondi is just about 8 inches, my Apophysis is only a sling but does that thing ever eat and have an attitude on its own.
Although she is rather small, she think she is huge.
A beauty with an attitude...

My T. blondi is eight inches measured diagonally, fully stretched out. I thought he was smaller than that until I actually measured him! I know there are people with much larger ones though. I'm pretty sure that he will mature with his next molt, but I think he'll be pretty huge!

You know, I'm looking at the picture I just posted and man he is fat. But I really don't feed him all that much. I only feed him once every week, about 3-5 crickets. Sometimes I even wait two weeks between feeding him. Is it normal that they get this fat without overfeeding? I read that some people feed theirs 10 or more crickets a week and pinkies too! I can't imagine how fat those ones must be!

What a wonderful sight. Congratulations on this all your efforts paid off. This is a species we definately need more of. Are you going to breed the second generation ?

My female blondi's last molt measured 9.5" (not diagonally). When she molts again, which should be later this month, I'll try and get a picture of the molt measured.
