Not G rosea?

[Peter Roach]

Peter...how big is your scrofa??? My confirmed female is currently at 1 1/8 inches. (Sorry, I really suck at conversions.) I know they don't get as big as roseas, but seeing your pics, they must get even smaller than I was thinking

My scrofa (if they are actually scrofa) are approx 1/4 of the size or smaller than an adult rosea. I would guess at a max body size of 1 3/4 - 2in for the female and 1 1/2in for the male. Another name is Dwarf Chile Rose

Wow, really! This site, http://www.beccastarantulas.com/tara...are%20page.htm, puts them at 3-4 inches. You'll have to scroll up the page slightly to get to the scrofa. It always centers on the Pokie section.

Has it got chevroned markings down the side of the abdomen?

If not then it is G. rosea, if it has it is one of the species being sold as P. scrofa.

Dealers are not taxonomists, the majority of dealers sell anything as everything to make a buck (H. hercules and H. gigas for example).

Just because a dealer has said it is something does not mean it is.

Tee-hee. You've changed the visible address but not the href address. It should read like so:
You'll need to insert a < at the start and a > at the end of this line:

a href="http://www.beccastarantulas.com/tarantulas/caresheets/care%20page.htm" target="_blank">http://www.beccastarantulas.com/tarantulas/caresheets/care%20page.htm</a>

Well spotted Peter!
