You must have this amazing T collection! I had to look it up to find out what it was. Never heard of it before. And this isn't the first time you've posted things that I've had to look up! :eek: :worship:

How many types of Ts do you have? (Boy, I miss the ST galleries!)

I have somewhere right around 100 species... but I really like a lot of the quirky smaller New World stuff.

I've had these few S. hoffmanni slings for the past year and they're just starting to get a little size.

LOL Tony. From the few adult pics i've seen they do appear to grow 4-5". The next few molts with these guys I have should be interesting.

>>I have a few of them (6).One is quite large now..approaching 2" and the "carapacic protrusion" (lol..I like that term..) is quite evident.I'll see if can snap a pic and post it.It was actually visible at a smaller size under magnifying glass, but can easily be seen by the naked eye now.

Great, the term seems to be sticking ;)

Cool spider nonetheless. Hey Eric, how're your 'two-patchers' doing ?

S. hoffmanni

Freshly molted sub-adult male Sphaerobothria hoffmanni.
He's only slightly over 2" at this point.

I have a female in premolt, which will be at the same instar as this fella. I need to slow him down at this point.
