Got my B. auratum (Mexican fire knee) in 12 July 2018, it has molted thrice in my care and is still small, brown thing (photo attached) <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" /> From genus Bracypelma I also have B. boehmei (fireleg), B. albopilosum, B. albiceps, and B. klaasi. All slings. It's satisfying to wait and watch them sloooooowly starting to show their colouring molt after molt.Caribena versicolor are visually quite stunning even in sling state, and at least mine stays quite often visible next to its web tube. Easy to keep if an enclosure has sufficient cross ventilation.Acanthoscurria geniculata are stunners, too. They grow fast and have strong feeding response. My juvenile basically never hides.</blockquote>
