Brachypelma and grammostola are amongst the slowest I don't think they are anywhere as slow as H. Chilensis which moult once or if you are lucky twice a year and never put on any size <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Well worth the wait though..</blockquote>
