Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens...Psalmopoeus irminia and Theraphosa stirmi are a few fast growing species. There are many others as well but I've personally seen all those grow fast.

Although you can't alter the DNA of a spider you can raise the metabolism by raising temperature.

The heat source must be above the tarantula never under the substrate.

The source must never create a hot spot anywhere within the enclosure that you can't touch with your bare hands. A quick test is to touch the enclosure anywhere the T may be. Then touch your forehead. If the spot is the same temp or warmer then your forehead, it's too hot.

Heat lamps etc should be located at least 8" away from the roof of the enclosure. The temperature should be about 80 degrees. Fill the water dish every day after checking it. Heat can cause rapid evaporation.
