[Fran]

10 and a half???
Would you put a ruler next to it?? :)

[lookerbrian]

Beautiful :D

Im with the big guy... Ruler picture is required when you say something like 10.5".

Sorry I was going off what I was told this is obviously incorrect

Just got home with them and was excited I will post some pictures against a ruler sorry guys , correct me if I'm wrong but the largest of the two is an LP right?

[Fran]

It is :)
Lasiodora parahybana and Grammostola pulchripes

[RoseT]

Nice!!!..LP can possibly make it to 10.5, I think the biggest Pulchripes recorded was a 8 inch female....Either way those are some monster numbers..

In theory...But I have yet to see an "official" 10" female, let alone more than that...

Thanks fran :D that's what I thought you guys think 70 was a good price for both girls?

[Fran]

A great one :)

[Dominatus]

Wouldn't be surprised to see a 10 inch Lasiodora Parahybana someday, perhaps yours is close?! They look very nice! My L. para is only 6.5" ish, so I hope to get her up there to 8" or 9" someday! Very nice buys, biggins usually cost a pretty penny.

Thanks!:D couldn't pass these 2 up

[AgentD006las]

Looks more around the 8" mark. Very nice score on those girls. You got one hell of a deal.

[Formerphobe]

Diagonal leg span looks to be a solid 7+ inches. Still nothing to sneeze at. Congrats on your new Ts. Good $, too.

[Optic]

Nice T's mate, I wish mine would get a bit bigger, hasn't molted for ages and it's only like 2 inches (the whole spider, not legs) and it is still eating and drinking well which is good :)

Anyway on-topic; Nice pictures you got of 'em :D! Looking pretty beast at the moment aha, maybe they'll get bigger like you hope them to, Buy a decent tank for them to live in with whatever is best for them :)

~thanks

[Fran]

Or sell me the LP. :wicked:

[Raven9464]

Both Beautiful and FANTASTIC price for 2 healthy females! I'm jealous :worship::D

[Merfolk]

8" with legs fully extended at the most...but don't worry, it looks female and is not done growing...you might have your 10 inches one day... ;)

[synyster]

Got myself a similar deal 2 years ago, 7" LP and a 5" B.smithi, with glass tanks, for 35$ ;) This guy just didn't want em anymore and posted them for 80$. finally let em off for 35 when I said I wasn't sure about the LP. Anyways it was a great deal and you just scored one too ;) congrats!

"Rescuing" a tarantula refers to buying it from somewhere (usually a local pet store) that keeps it in less-than-ideal conditions for the purpose of giving it a good home with proper care. Hence the term "rescue".

[catfishrod69]

i have a big LP, that after having her for a while finally just molted...and even though i had a good hunch it was female, i now know for sure she is, and the molt was 7" but man her stomach was huuuuge before, and barely even got smaller after....heres a link to her pics
