Question Average size of T's

Every T is different and individual I know, but I was wondering what sort of size mine would get to?

I'm estimating:

Chilean Rose - 5-6 inches
Mexican Red Knee - 6 inches
Salmon Pink Goliath - 10 inches

Could these be the rough sizes mine may grow to?

Not a female no.. Males tend to be sweet.. dunno what it is about them but you just wanna cuddle them lol They're so leggy and fluffy!
Got a pic of him somewhere...

Here he is! Meet Noel..


parahybana are very flicky and will bite... Not the best kind of spider to handle!

Nice pic. Mmm, heard that. Don't tend to handle it myself. How old might mine be at 2 1/2-3 inches? Also, how long do they take to get fully groen? Are you likely to have a male for very long when mature?

Sorry, so many Q's

No problem!

Um.. It's hard to gauge age on size as it depends on temps and food its had etc If you get a recent moult you can send it to me to sex for you if you like? 3" would be perfect size to sex.

A female will take about 3+ years to be adult i guess? They're very fast growing! I got my Lasiodora klugi (sister to parahybana's) at 2cm last October and it's now 5" and female.. so in a year its grown LOADS and thats female!! Males will probably be mature in about 1-2 years.
Males live probably just over a year once mature.

Some pictures or my gang!

Pic of my klugi on there

That's not long is it? I really hope it's a female now! Tokay posted saying their female is over 13 years now! Big difference between male and female lifespans! Doesn't seem fair! Yes, would like to send moult to you if you don't mind. Will add you to my buddy list so can pm you when it moults. I've called it Lily anyway, so here's hoping.

Thank you
