Sorry, this was sent to me by a seller. I am going to look at he/she later tonight. It is about 5 months old. I'll know more later. Thanks though.Just as I suspected.
Your Haplopelma lividum is a spider.
We need more info dude. How big is its legspan? Can you get a shot of the book lungs?
Also.....can we see a full shot of the setup....I think I see whole bricks of coco fiber in there...
He/she is about 2 1/2 inches.That lividum is deffinitly not 5 months old..., a 5 month old lividum is brown.
Ok....He/she is about 2 1/2 inches.
But how do you know? This species' males become sexually dimorphic only after the maturing molt.it's a %100 female.
That's quite a bold claim!it's a %100 female.
He/she is about 2 1/2 inches.
tnguyen said it's 2 1/2 inches and it equals to nearly 5cm.Yes i know they are dimorphic,and also I've never seen 5cm mature male Haplopelma lividum.But how do you know? This species' males become sexually dimorphic only after the maturing molt.
The op is from California.tnguyen said it's 2 1/2 inches and it equals to nearly 5cm.Yes i know they are dimorphic,and also I've never seen 5cm mature male Haplopelma lividum.
This spider is my male Haplopelma lividum - adult - and it has 3.5cm body length.
That's why i think it's a female.
If you're lucky. Mine has never brought up a shed ever, and I assume she has just plastered it to the walls of her burrow somewhere.Quick update
Ever since I brought her home, she burrowed deep into the substrate and recently webbed up the entrance. I guess she is getting ready to molt. I'll find out if she really is a she in the next coming weeks. Thanks! :biggrin:
