[QUOTE="Psyrocke, post: 85578, member: 4547"] Yeah I figuring she was most likely an inch off but if you are able to see the pictures, I know Telson was having trouble, she looks SO much different. She's more fuzzy and thicker-limbed than previously. My research was saying most Taps max out at 4.5" with gigas being the largest at 5" (that they know). When I google for images, all I am finding are my posts of Rajah or H. colombias :/. The adult female sp Union Island on Tarantula Canada's site looks similar in leg thickness but I don't know. I will definitely at least give her another moult though. Edit: Googling adult tapinauchenius females since I can't find sp Colombia specifically I found [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/GoTerps/media/00d4f7e2.jpg.html']this[/URL] of a sub-adult elanae and [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/GoTerps/media/3b23be8a.jpg.html']this[/URL] of a sub adult gigas and Rajah's stature is very similar to this now. She was much less fuzzy, and those 'leg warmers' on her front legs adjacent to her pedipalps was not there before.Also those brown hairs where here carapace and abdomen meet were not there in the moult prior.
