    Just beyond bizarre that the females of some of these tarantula species can live twice as long as most people's pet cats or dogs.

    No it is; you've got some bugs with a 1 week life span yet here we've got a T that'll live a good portion of our lives.

    Some adult insects don't even have mouth parts to eat because they only survive for a day before dying.

    Penelope is really at home as she's just tearing the place up; there's a ton of dirt in her dish!

    Didn't capture the live pic but she was nonchalantly walking back into her burrow lol

    I don't know what it is, but most tarantulas LOVE filling their water dish up with dirt.

    So funny how members of the same species behave so differently. My L. parahybana complete ignores her hide and seems perfectly comfortable just hanging out in the open 100% of the time.

    What would you estimate the body length on your spider to be?

    You know, when I first got her I measured her out to be about 4"

    I've fed her several meal worms (since they're small) and I've been watching her abdomen to ensure it's not bloated, or to exceed 1.5 times her carapace.

    When I get home tonight from work, I'll see if she's grown some. She really wouldn't grow until after her molt though wouldn't she?

    Still learning a lot, I'm only 2 weeks in...

    They won't grow (aside from having a full belly) until they actually molt, then they are suddenly larger. I'd guess mine to be about 3" long (insert jokes here ______ ).

    @boogie3478

    Forgot I snapped this pic last week.

    20200302_123417.jpg

    Granted I'm hovering above so the length isn't accurate, it's made up since her legs aren't stretched completely. She sits at a hair under 4"

    Gotcha. Mine is right at 3" measuring from the front of the chelicerae (fangs) to the back of the abdomen.
