I've had this little one for a while now. It's at about ~2.5-3.0"
I have never had so much difficulty photographing a spider before. This one can really jump!!!


Hope you've got good bandwidth! :D

Very pretty! I don't take mine out much... The fiance doesn't appreciate the thrill of the chase. ;) Or the tapping you hear after you see the tiger bolt out of site. :D

Very pretty! I hear you on the difficulty of photographing them. I just recently got a picture a year after getting mine. The only pic I had of it is the one of it out of its shipping vial.

I don't dare handle mine or even mess with it much due to its unpredictability and pure speed. I just recently re-housed it, which is why I got an opportunity to take a recent picture of it. From the week I got it till now it's been in its burrows, and rarely comes out long enough for me to take a picture.

Thankfully mine seems to be getting more bold with age, and comes out more and more, and is less skittish when a shadow descends upon its cage. ;)

Beautiful! I really want one of these. I love how swifty refers to them as "tree panthers"...it is a pretty good description. :)
