Could people use molts to measure if a live measurement can't be done? That was just an idea I had...

Yes you can use molts but when it dries out it shrinks a little and second being the T's old skin unless it was already full grown it will be a little smaller than the T its self, I think the molt of the one in my pictue is 7" just to give you an idea. Greg

I think you have your thero's mixed up.
Goliath Birdeater (Theraphosa blondi), 13"+
Goliath Pinkfoot (Theraphosa apophysis), 12"+
blondi has a much more bulkier body then apoth and apoth has a much greater legpsna. I think in reality t blondi gets to about 9-11 inches where an apoth gets to about 10-12 inches.

i'm curious how if a blondi gets 9-11 inches and an apoth gets to 10-12 inches how is it the T. blondi holds a guiness world record for size and an apoth does'nt?

 

[DnKslr]

Well,
it's been a while since I've measured mine but here is the picture. I couldn't find the tape measure so this little ruler from my planner will have to do.
I estimate about 8-9 inches but I could be wrong. eh~

Here is Peaches, my second largest T. I just love the way they stretch for me

My first post with a pic of my Pokie

I've been reading the threads on these boards for a while, and finally decided to join and do a few posts of my own.

This thread in particular is what made up my mind (that and the fact that this is the best such forum I have found), to add my too cents. Here they go.

I have a Pokie that I'd like to add. I got her about a year ago now...and this is the pic of her then. I'm expecting her 1st molt (with me anyway), in December (he had lots of T's and couldn't remember it to a date), so I hoping for another 1/2" to 1". I won't guess at her size, I'll let the picture and hopefully you other members do the talking.

Is that a P. formosa?

 

[priZZ]

I think it is a P. fasciata.

I think it is a P. fasciata.

I thought that P. fasciata didn't have the yellow warning bands underneath? :?

 

[Lyle Beach]

Nevermind.... I stand corrected:

 

[Deschain]

No...she's a P.regalis. Not the rarest pokie, but she's very cool, and huge to boot. Going on 7 years old. Mayhap I have a potential record? Hmmm...Google time!

 

[reverendsterlin]

maybe, it's been so long since I actually saw my H. gigas but the mice keep disappearing (except for the white balls to toss out).

9 inch carapoensis

RazorRipley has a 9 inch Nhandu carapoensis that I saw visiting his house this last weekend (ruler meausurement n all). Im sure if you ask him nicely, he'll take a photo for you.

 

[rapunzellagain]

i'm curious how if a blondi gets 9-11 inches and an apoth gets to 10-12 inches how is it the T. blondi holds a guiness world record for size and an apoth does'nt?

Ive personally heard that the Apophysis holds the world record at 14 inches, and a male one at that!! I could be wrong, but still an interesting "fact" to hear.

 

[Mike H.]

I would love to see some pics with rulers of some giants....they has to be more than what has been posted ?? :liar:

Regards, Mike :?

 

[rosehaired1979]

Well I have 2 ts that same size and thats my A.chacoana and my larger G.aureostriata . My husbands largest T is his 7" female P.regalis.

 

[Bean]

so lets see your largest

pics on a ruler or with something in the pic for comparison

I DON'T want to hear about the 12 inch T you had unless you have a picture of it next to a ruler....

Less talk, more walk!!!

I have an apop. sling that's already about three inches, although her legs are still quite slender. I'm hoping that with the right care, I'll have a beautiful 1/4 pound, 10in. plus monster.
