Hey everyone, hopefully back for good.

Missed this site quite a bit, as many will know I used to be on here constantly. Long story, but I'm back.

So over the time I've been gone my collection of inverts haven't really increased, in actual fact it's got smaller, I seem to be getting a load of males, they obviously get sent out for breeding.

What I do have is a total outlier Cupiennius Salei though. Also ended up with a new dog.

So, Cupiennius Salei (Tiger Wandering Spider) gets to a max size of 10cm dls.

Here is a photo of the last moult measuring just over 11cm.

And a photo of the a beautiful girl post moult, my guess is she's at least 13cm dls now judging from the moult measuring to the size she is now.

Welcome back Andrew!! Remember your post on the Salei. Those guys are super cool and on my radar no doubt! My one true spood , Heterapoda sp David Bowie pictured, was the size of a pin head when you were posting before and now have him/her at a whopping 2" DLS thereabouts! So fun! Too many T's now so my Tiger Wanderer will wait! Remember you like your Cambrigei's! I now have a 6.5 " DLS girl and unsexed one that's just molted I'm guessing around 5.5 " DLS . Still got you a P. Cambrigei?? Welcome back again brother!!

Yeah I love Cambridgei I have 2 females on reserve, it's to cold to post here just now, the one I did have turned out to be male, he's currently out for breeding, I'm positive it's actually a member from here that has him, he wasn't mature yet but confirmed male so just sent him out.
