Sericopelma sp. Santa Catalina 1” Crew neck After a molt these spiderssize 1 This undescribed species from Pacific coast of the Veraguas province Panama is quite the sight. These are a leggy species that can reach a leg span of over 8 inches. Probably my favorite Sericopelma species due to their fast growth and unique pinkish coloration. The mature males are a brilliant rainbow color as well. Terrestrial species that are easy to keep and impressive as adults.
