I finally have a picture of my cutie :D

This is honestly becoming one of my favorite tarantula species. I need more, now {D

Here's one of mine Bryan.... same stock as yours, but I would guess the one in my pic is 2 molts ahead of yours. Both of mine have molted 4 times now since I got them.

Hi Bryan, I'm hooked on these too! I've got two 1/4" slings (too small for a good pic) What I like is that they have pattern and color when little at 1/4", it's amazing! :D

I'm really interested in breeding them in the US. Hit me up if you'd like to talk more about this. I'm happy to chat (phone or email).

Do they retain their markings after they mature? These are so neat looking!

I just had a male mature on me.I got him late Nov..early Dec of last year.It was very small..appr 1/16" big.So by the looks of it males will mature quite quickly.He's got to be around 9-10 months of age..under a yr for sure.The other two I purchased at the same time are still quite a bit smaller so I'm hoping females.I also just recently purchased 2 more slings so hopefully I can get a nice male for when my females are matured.Should hopefully time out just about right...

They sure do.Nice thing about it is they develope their adult colors at a very small/early stage and keep them.I could easily see the adult colors/patterns developing at around 1/8" big.

Another pic. I love the way the black on the prosoma blends right into the chelicerae.
