Are there also spiders in the under 1inch range, looking good? (and that can be kept? )

Under 1in.? I suppose you can catch a jumping spider or some other small spider you find in the wild, but no tarantulas stay that small, that I know of. The guys over on http://www.arachnoboards.com/ would know!

the Cyriocosmus genus stay pretty small and look badass. C. elegans is commonly kept

[peterock44]

these are a few I've had, pic quality isn't the greatest. one of these days i'll bust out the good camera on the ones I still have.

Yep, they stay small normally under an inch as adults. I can't recommend them for beginners though, as spiderlings they are tough to keep.

why did this thread die?

 

i went to the LA bug fair today, picked up this little guy:

 

 

It's a chaco golden knee spiderling, first tarantula, hope it does well.

I saw this just a bit ago. Pretty cool and NOPE at the same time.

 

Also, I just read a report (I think from IFLScience) that said experts believe we've only discovered 1/2 of the species of spiders in the world? I have no idea how they determine that, but kind of neat and terrifying.

So cool. I've watched mine molt and it is freakin awesome.

My mom caught a wolf or house spider today and it was the size of her palm. She asked if I wanted it, but it was just plain brown, meh.
