almost 4 inch,
it hurts to have male, but trust me, but as long as you take good care of it, I'm sure its not the age that count, but the quality time spent

well last molt I noticed it has started to have obvious urticating hair at the pedipalps, well the blue fang was dimmed because of pre-molt i guess, its been awhile.

i guess the name cyriopagopus threolli exist no more,the proper name should be Cyriopagopus schiodtei right?
just my opinion

The name is still valid.. but its not *available* in the hobby.

I am a proud owner of some new Ts.

my last forray into the world of Ts ended suddenly when my chilobrachsys sp was devoured by ants.

now i have some new sp and i would really appreciate if anybody here can tell tell me from the fastest to the slowest interms of natural growth rates for the Ts.

the sp i have and coming soon are

1)Pterinochilus murinus (coming soon)
2)Cyclosternum fasciatum (i have)
3)Cyriopagopus schiodtei (i have)
4)RCF Grammostola rosea (coming soon)
5)Holothele incei (i have)

i do understand that tarantula in captivity or in the wild their growth rates is highly dependant on the availability of food but i just want to know the average or natural growth rate of sp that i have. just rate them according to the numbers.

thank you.

New sp? Hmm
If im not mistaken, Thorelli and Schiodtei is two different species
Those that are in the hobby are mostly Schiodtei

my typing error.
cyriopagopus thorelli and schiodtei are not two different species.
they are the same thing which are commonly known as MET.
i have seen these somewhere but i cant recall,both are named as different species earlier because of their Sexual dimorphism where both sexes got different colouration.After all,schiodtei should be the proper name and they are definitely not two different species

Rideon where u gt ur MET?i planning to gt also

a quick Q

as i was misting my slings, i found that one of them molted.
how ever, it was panicking and started running around. and the legs look fragile... will it be ok?
