i know the answer


p.s. a penny is .75" (2cm) in diameter.

Can I have the penny if I guess correctly?

the one i have is a little smaller and iv had it for a year now. i will say about 3 years?

i would guess its around 2

3 years?!....it takes about 4 years for a rosehair to mature. unless this sling is severely underfed, id say its no more than a year...

it's over three years old

i had twenty from an eggsac that i was slow growing... but i had to get rid of my collection so i only kept two... and one died recently :/

no way!?.....thats crazy!  did 1die from lack of food maybe? damn!  so y slow grow them anyway?

nah, i forgot to adjust up my watering frequency for summer. another little Mecicobothriidae died cuz of it, too.. i was pretty bummed, i have only found two of them ever and now i am down to one

im confused....mecicobothriidae? isnt that dwarf species? nobody knows family names....i thought u said it was a rosehair? ...found? u said u had twenty from an eggsac....?  idk?

G. rosea is pictured in this thread.  the Meci's were other spiders that i had (about the same size or alittle bigger than the rosea pictured) that also died when it got warm and i didn't increase my watering schedule

Mecicobothriidae is the only thing i can call them as i haven't been able to successfully ID them further.  they should be either Hexura fulva or Hexurella rupicola... i might never find out now, as when they died they crumbled.  hopefully myself or others will find more from that area and i can eventually get an ID
