[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 66661, member: 1084"] Try looking for [SIZE=4][SIZE=4]Avicularia braunshauseni[/SIZE] or Avicularia sp. "amazonica". They're not really all that common, (although not super rare either) so you may not have the easiest time finding some, and you're definitely gonna have to buy them as slings if you don't want to end up spending a decent bit of money for a juvie/adult. These are widely considered as being the two largest Avicularia species out there. As for how large they actually get, the size estimates are all over the place. Some people say they can reach up to 9 inches (which to be honest I find a bit far fetched), but these are probably the same people who claim that LPs get this big, when those in reality rarely exceed 7 1/2 inches. I would say that these two Avics probably max out at around 7+ inches for females. I wouldn't be all that surprised if some specimens got larger on occasion.
