how old is my B. hamorii?

[Zeri]

i recently got a mexican red knee from a pet store and she is a juvenile. ive never raised a young tarantula before so i have no way of guessing how old she might be. its not super important i suppose, but i am curious. she is about as long as a tube of chapstick, and im pretty sure b. hamorii get a bit bigger than that. i guess i really just need to know how much to feed and when/how often to expect molts.

That is a difficult question to answer as there are so many variables involved. Tarantulas of the same species can grow at different rates depending on the amount and frequency of feeding, temperatures and sex.
