My new female 10"+ T. Blondi (Pics) MASSIVE!

[robc]

I received my 10"+ female T. Blondi from Paul this morning. She is huge! Biggest head I've seen on a spider. Just enormous! Have another one on the way that may rival this one in size...we'll see tomorrow!

Here's some pics:

That may be true, but I doubt you have 10" hands.
That girl looks 8-9" at best.
Congrats on your new addition.

Its better to go by the size of the tile most tiles are 12"X12" so 10" seems to be fairly accurate

I'd rather go by a ruler.
Nice girl no matter what though.

Nice looking girl! Looks like all your fingers are still there (on one hand anyway ), she let you handle her ok?

My other Blondi is right at 9" and this new one is certainly larger - her head especially. I am going to get a ruler measurement on her in a few minutes. Just wanted her to calm down a bit first. Any advice or techniques for getting them to stretch out for an accurate measurement? She insists on moving around alot and sitting with her legs scrunched up...when I measured her that way she was 8" without her legs extended. Her body is almost 4" long... Ryan, I'm not saying you're wrong - I know you're good at sizing them up...she is a thick girl though...also, what's the best way to tell if a Blondi is about to molt? I have a hard time with these girls...her abdomen is a dark reddish-brown where the hairs have been kicked off (mostly dark brown but with a reddish tint)...rob

Yeah, that's about what they are...I tried to get a good pic with her stretched out on one but she kept running away. She's fairly speedy for such a large girl...

I am goating you more then anything else. But I'd still love to see more shots. She is a cool new addition!

The bald spot will turn black like any other species. If she stops eating and you see it getting darker, then you know a moult is coming. She's a very nice looking girl, congrats!

Maybe if you ask her nicely to pose out for you.
That's a big girl you got there, Buddy. What you gonna feed her? Hope you got a bunch of roaches to feed, cause criks aren't gonna cut it.
Very nice addition to your collection.
Enjoy!

I looked at her a bit more closely and the top half where she just kicked some hairs is jet black shiny black, but real far down it is a bit lighter. With the blondi's I have had, there abdomen got a grayish tint not dark at all and they molted. Well this girl is a eating machine.....grabbed a roach in mid air . My other blondi that molted ate the day before......I must have wierd Blondi's....rob

I know you are.....I have another big female coming tommorow.....I think as big maybe bigger.....this girl is just thick.....My L.p who is 10" has no where near that much thickness. Well she is eating then I am going to get some more pics.......rob

she was very docile, I was trying to get her to stretch out and she never put up a threat pose, not once. I tried to hold her but I am very susectable to those hairs and i don't know how she acts (runs, skittish) so i didn't want to hold her to much. She did crawl right over my hands with no aggression.......rob
