How big?

[HungryGhost]

I always have trouble sizing my T's. While I had my Chaco Golden Knee out of he enclosure for some maintenance, I put her on a piece of 1" graph paper. She wasn't thrilled with the whole idea so she was kind of contracted. How big would you say she is? I'm thinking 4". (BTW- Even though she wasn't thrilled to be out, she never threatened or flicked hair, very mellow temperament on this one.)

when measuring tarantulas you use a diagonal leg span, so I would say closer to 5"

Hold old is she? ^^

I'm betting on a 4.5"

I'm not sure. I got her at a reptile show in November 2013 when she was about 3". She has molted twice since then. She was unsexed when I got her so finding out I got a female was a bonus!
