Wasnt going to buy anything today.

[Johnny1320]

Went to a reptile swap for crickets, but I couldnt pass these up. There is usually quite a few wild caught T's, I didnt expect there to be so many cool slings. Good prices too. Nice not having to pay shipping for decent stuff.

P.irminia

H.maculata

And 2 L.parahybana's, about 2.5"

 

[Spidershane1]

Sweet! Good finds for sure

 

[gmrpnk21]

Cool! Are the L. parahybana sexed?

 

[jbm150]

Is it just me or does this look like a pulchra? I guess its just the angle....

 

[DemonAsh]

Were these from the show in Wheaton?

 

[Johnny1320]

Yes the wheaton show. The L. parahybana are not sexed. I'm not sure if they can be just yet?

 

[AudreyElizabeth]

Nice!! I do love not having to pay shipping.

I love that show. I found a P. pederseni there this weekend. And Adam had some nice stuff too, per usuual.

Im with you on that one. That looks exactly like a G.pulchra at that size. Its damn near identical to mine, not that it means much, but still.

 

[billy28]

Nice buy!
What are the sizes on the irminia and maculata?

 

[Johnny1320]

Nice buy!

Right around an inch. The H.mac wrecked a cricket right away, the irminia hasn't been interested.

Yep, that's him.

 

[Johnny1320]

Yep, that's him.

Yeah he had some nice stuff too. Hopefully hes there next time. I've been wanting an LP and was going to order some 1/8" online, glad I waited til I went to the show.

He's been there just about every time I've gone to that show, so he should be.

LOL that is brilliant.

 

[fatich]

I agree with J.huff23 and jbm150, it's not a Lasiodora parahybana, its Grammostola pulchra.

 

[paassatt]

Im with you on that one. That looks exactly like a G.pulchra at that size. Its damn near identical to mine, not that it means much, but still.

The two pictures in the OP look nothing like my ~3 inch L. parahybana. Another case of LPS mislabeling, perhaps?

 

[KoriTamashii]

It really does look to me like a G. pulchra, too.

I'd say that's better for you... but I'm biased.

Hey that works out too! I have a pulchra sling but its much smaller so I cant really compare. I'll try to take some better pics later and I'll post them up. Unfortunately I have to use my cell phone for pics because we cant find our digital cam charger.:wall:

Either way I got them for $10 each :razz:

another cell pic i had.

 

[paassatt]

Are those wood chips/bark in the pic? That might make for a messy situation were the spider to take a tumble on to it after a fall from the side of your enclosure.
