The difference let's see,the chaco is a 7inch max sweety. The Lasiodora parahybana is a 8inch plus bulldozer,with sometimes a bad day without Prozac. My specimen,was 8inches premolt 1 inch fang,now anything from 9 inches up since they can put on size in increments of 1inch or more.

Hi Martin ..
It was the size of the LP I am interested in. All my T's are slings apart from B.Emilia which I would call a subadult? 3inch DLS?
I think my girlfriend just worried about her cats and if it ever got out.
But I would be more worried for my LP.
I really need to close down my pay pal account as it's becoming all so easy to buy T's.. Lol.
I will tell her.. When I don't know lol

I'm considering doing this... I had my g rosea first, then a friend gave me my n colorato.... She almost killed him for bringing another spider in the house lol. I keep joking that I'm gonna get another while she is working... Only one day I won't joke anymore lol.

Hi Rbale427..
I've been keeping T's now for roughly 7 weeks and I'm on my 7th T... I keep looking at more I did say 6 would be my max number and that had gone out of the window lol .. I will tell my other half tonight .. Fingers crossed she understands lol
What you looking at next ?

She might be still too exited about getting her kitten in 10 weeks to seriously harm you, lol.
When I got my LP I told my husband that it was a freebie that came with my P. met. He knows how big it's going to get, but doesn't mind. I think it's a man thing to prefer bigger animals, lol.

They have A. Diversipes slings at the local pet store for $30. I showed a picture of them to the wife and she agreed they are pretty, so I know she is at least thinking about it lol. I just got her a new bearded dragon, so I think she will let me get one more lol.

Not true, I have 2 LPs and I'm definitely female

Hi Fuzzball..
Big cats = big spiders lol
10 weeks will feel like 10 years. She is very excited. We had planned on a trip to London for a weekend to go to the natural history museum. But I gave her a choice. Cat or London..lol..

Luckily for her, my wife never made me choose between her and my T's.

I've read a few caresheets on the LP.
Growth rate is fast. How fast is fast?

My 2 have gone from 1'' to 4'' in 3 moults and one is in pre-moult again. I got them 6 months ago.

I started mine off in cricket tubs at 1'', then moved them into 3 litre Braplast tubs which they are still in. When they moult again I'm going to put them in 9 litre Really Useful boxes and their final homes will be 2' Pennine vivs.
