The change with each molt is unbelievable, they don't get anywhere near as large as LPs, but they share the appet, They are also heavy webbers as well. To top it all off, they are almost always visible. GBBs are good preparation for intermediate Sp. such as N. chromatus, E. murinus and P. platyomma as they are skittish LPs are large tarantulas with amazing appetites, however they are not webbers (other than the molting mat), nor are they quite as stunning color wise. The advantage with them is price. LPs are readily available due to the fact that they drop massive egg sacs. LPs vary in temperament as all tarantulas do. I've heard many of them are docile, I've read others were skittish:defensive (mine was just straight defensive).GBBs are definitely the better of the two.</blockquote>
