They are nymph1 Poecilotheria regalis. They'll grow up to be just like their Mum;
So, you want to keep a pet tarantula?

They are Nymph1 Poecilotheria regalis. They will shed soon and gain abdominal patterning but still have limited movement capabilities. A few weeks later they moult again and become fully functional, feeding spiderlings.Originally posted by Slime101

Yes, they're what will turn into the spiders' abdomens.. Whilst the spiders are nymphs, this part is the egg and provides all nutrition as they can't actually walk around or feed at this size. Two more moults and they'll be fully functional eating spiderlings though
And I put a 10p in there just to show you the size. They're not actually that small
N.B - No nymphs were harmed in the making of this photo
Yeah i'm going to loan him out although G has asked begged bribed me to send it to him first then I think Brendan wants him after that. If everything goes well then I'll stick him up on the T Store to anyone else that wants him...Originally posted by Lopéz
Martin, I know Phil Messenger will probably want that male if you're loaning him out? Don't actually keep any adult lividum myself
