Well, there was a red letter message on the carriers tracking page about delays and sorting problems due to heavy storms in Memphis. I didn't think my baby would get here today, but here she is, 4 hours late but doing fine. Her carapace is actually a dark green, but all my shots show her looking more like a cancerides, the flash is taking the green out of the pic, but she's stunning, and more than four inches as advertised, more like 5. I'm going to work on my lighting and camera settings, ya'll need to see this... Thank you Steven Stamps What a stunner, and 3 more babies on my shelves..

Update. I dropped a roach in not expecting her to eat it yet, and she snatched it up like a boss..straight out of the mail..

I expect it from slings, but not larger spiders 5 minutes out of the box She hit it hard too, slammed up against the glass

Must be just your kind of T!

In the first pic you can see how skinny her butt was when I got her. I don't know if she had recently molted or what but she was skinny. The second pic is three or four days later, after eating a male dubia and a worm every day. She's filling out nicely, and still does not use her hide, ever, except to sit on top of it. She's competing with my P antinous for spider of the year

Good job in getting her figure back!

Thanks. She made it easy by killing and eating everything that entered her domain The antinous in the last pic though..look at her, only 5-6 inches and already looking very healthy..that's gonna be a big spider
