lol! i got my first L. para today, hoping that will be female too, its only 3inch at the mo. my smithi was 6 before its molt so i'm hoping it will gain another inch.

Do I sense a bit of arachnid blind date going on here lol.
Im still sweet cos I have another L.Para sling bout 2cm so still lots of joy bringing him/her up.And yeah might get an inch on b. smithi maybe three quarters just cos they grow so slow.
Im raging to I have cracking pics of my L. Para moulting and this p.c keeps saying an error occured when I'm uploading them!! Awk well I'll get it sorted and post them.
My Chromatopelma cyaneopubescen shed a few days ago. As a 1st 2 sexing I decided 2 searched the Net, When I looked up 'sexing molts' I was even more confused, In some pic's she looks female and in others she looks male LOL. R well, I'm guessing by her next molt I would of figured it out lol.
Hi Angie, if you download the BTS journal Vol.22 No.1 there's a brilliant article on sexing tarantulas by Chris Sainsbury in there. Have a look and see what you think.

congrats andy, i have an adult female smithi, they are just fantastic, and if well looked after, they can live to a good age, i think i am correct in saying that the record age for a captive T is 47 and that was a smithi
