Oldest tarantula

[Memo7]

Hey everyone,

I’m always reading threads but thought I would ask a random question.

how old are some of your T’s

I have a 12 year old P. Metallica and 2 10 year old P. Regalis

 

[Arachnoclown]

I have currently these old ladies...
Grammostola porteri at 22
Grammostola rosea at 20
Brachypelma hamorii 18
Tliltocatl sabulosum 16
And a very rare 15 year old Avicularia avicularia
I was given a Brachypelma smithi (annitha) in 1982 and she was fully mature. She passed away in 2004. Im estimating that she was at the minimum 29 years old at her death. (At least 7 years to mature)

In my collection right now I have 6 year old:
B. emilia
G. pulchripes
P. rufilata
C. cyaneopubescens
P. Murinus
T. albopilsus
A. juruensis

A B. hamorii I had to sell before moving is still kicking and she’s 12 or 13.

My oldest lady is Inca, a Brachypelma hamorii, who is 15 although she's only been with me 8 months.
Pip, my Lasiodora parahybana, came to me as a 1" sling 7 yeas ago today.
