Hi Guys,
I just wanted to share some pictures of my Burgandy Goliath. When I first got this girl, I really wasn't crazy about her, but I have to say she's really growing on me. She's 6" right now, and she's very skittish, and defensive. The main difference between Stirmi and Blondi, is the lack of hair on the patella (knee) on Stirmi. I've also been told that Stirmi Max out at about 9-10"

It's amazing how pretty a brown spider can be.

Good shot at the lack of Patella hair

Whoa that is a really pretty color for being brown! Has she calmed down at all over the years?

She is gorgeous. I think they are a beautiful species. I recently acquired a 3" female, and two subadult males. I plan to pair them with Precious when their time comes.
here are a couple shots of my Precious, MF T. stirmi well nearly 11"
