Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 98948" data-attributes="member: 4199">I don't go by any "posted" growth rate.  all depends on feeding, temp, etc.  FWIW my boehmei has grown from 1/2" to about 3" in year.  I've kept all my T's in 75-82F temps year round, feed all the slings/juvies abdomen sized prey twice a week, water dish filled every other day, or 3rd day depending how fast it dries out.  sub adults and adults get fed an adult dubia or 2 adult lateralis roaches once a week.My LP has grown about the same as the boehmei.  Got him back in January at 1/4" or so and he's 2.5-3" now.</blockquote>
