Does anyone here have experience in keeping Pamphobeteus fortis, Pamphobeteus ornatus, and/or Pamphobeteus nigricolor? I'm just wondering on what their adult sizes are in comparison to Pamphobeteus antinous.

I have an AF nigricolor she is about 6.5 to 7 inches so possibly a shade under the antinous....which incidentally I am picking up tomorrow along with a 7 inch AF sp. petersi.

Not much difference in size really as pamphobeteus are a big species.

Also have vespertinus at about 6 inches along with ultramarinus, mascara, sp klein and a couple of others but they are larger slings or juveniles atm.

The reason why I'm asking is that I'm wondering whether P. nigricolor, P. ornatus, and/or P. fortis could achieve maximum sizes of over 9 inches in addition to P. antinous.

In general I would say the other species are likely to be slightly smaller. Most pampho capable of 8 inches though so not going to be a million miles away from antinous :)
