Thank's Chris, she's about 6.5 inches now. Also she's a young female, just became adult with the last two molts. :) Hoping she breeds! :D

Best wishes,
Pato

BTW, Lampropelma nigerrimum is very early to sex. Females get black, males brown out. Here is a male in Nymph-Stage 4 (has molted three times as spiderling), with a total lengths of about 4,3 cm.
=> be careful when you buy slings at stage N3 or larger!



all the best,
Martin

Hi,

here are two more photos (not mine, so I can only post links) of two specimens in N4 stage:
>> male <<, >> female <<

Even in stage N3 I think to recognize the first differences.

all the best,
Martin

Around where? If you mean the U.S., then late february... Chris (syndicate) and I each have 5. I believe that's it stateside so far, but I'm sure that will change.
