Does anyone have a picture of the actual record-breaker goliath tarantula?
I can't seem to find any info about it any where.
Thanks, james

All I remember, is I got a paperback Guiness Book of World Records (It might have been a just science version) I don't even remember what year it was..
And there was a picture of what claimed to be the 'world's largest tarantula' on a guy's hand. I can't remember it, but I think it was a male T. blondi. It claimed to be over 11".

....?

The biggest one ive seen in person is my old blondi....

I have sort of stubby fingers but very wide palms and im about 6' for size reference. I posted this pic somehwere on the boards a couple years ago but cannot remember where. She has scince moved on from moult complications....:8o . She was the most impressive beast ive yet to see since 02'.....I rulered her @ 9" in a regular walking stance as seen in the photo (yes im the one holding her...and taking the photo), if she had her hind legs streched she would surley break the 10" mark with no qusetion.

She was just over 9" in a walking stance, all stretched she would obviously break 10". As far as wheight, i have no clue, heavy.
