6 1/4" in 3 years?? that's awesome! I've got a sling, its about maybe... 1/2 or so.. Looking forward to getting her big .

 

[Tguy]

growth rate depends mostly on temps and feeding my t room is kept between 76 -80 at all times ...she ate like a pig for the first year and a bit after that it's like 2-6 a month

 

[Nada]

yeah, I too keep my T room on the warmer side, and get good growth. The only Genus I can't speed up is Aphnopelma. They just don't grow lol

 

[Atx13]

My slings are kept around the low 80's during the day, 75-78 or so at night. My obt is growing pretty fast(i've kept a lot of over the years, and this one is growing the fastest). Never kept G. pulchripes, got her at around 1/4-1/2 inch in size... She has moulted twice, since Dec. 9th. She eats very well. .

[Liquid Ice]

Awesome bro! I remember when my g rosea was that size. honestly i think there cute when there small.

I would say a B. Smithi (Mexican Redknee) for your first. I would say the best starter tarantula is a Curly Hair Tarantula. They are the slowest moving and least aggressive they are very cheap! Here is a Pic of a smaller one.

 

[Liquid Ice]

what size is your t? im guessing 3 in mark?

 

[critterkeeper]

i need to find a name for my t. he/she ate half a baby dubia roaches.

 

[DalilahBlue]

We'd love to help you come up with a name. Give us some personality traits, behaviors, quirks, etc. If your T was a human what would they be doing?

 

[critterkeeper]

thats just it he/she just sits there. the only time it moves is when there is food. and if she moves she drags the food with her.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Rocko. Or Rocky (e)(ie)(ey)

 

[critterkeeper]

thats not bad. i have only had her for two day i will give it some time. maybe she will get more comfortable
