It’s got the size in about 18 momths it’s about 15cm I got it at 3 cm there pretty fast growers and put on some size after a moult. That’s the water dish lol I only feed with superworms and crickets for juvie and bigger Ts and use bean weevils or tiny slings

Yeah just kidding! Lol :)
Mine is 1cm and I've had it 2 days shy of a month. When I bought it it was advertised as 1cm but I couldn't have it sent to me for 2 weeks so when a 1cm sling arrived, I thought it would moult within the next 2 weeks. How wrong I was. I guess they grow at different rates and they just picked a 1cm one when it was time to send it. It'll moult soon and surprise me but in the meantime it's become a running joke :)

Pretty cute though. I was originally going to have G. pulchripes and a G. Pulchra juvenile as my firsts. But I couldn't afford to get the ones I was looking at, at the time. Just wasn't meant to be.

So what Ts do you have ? My other G Pulchripes matured into a Male btw so don’t know what’s up with that sling both have been kept the same

I've only got 4 with a 5th on the way (sounds like I'm talking about kids lol)

LP
D. diamantinensis
2 x B. albopilosum Nicaraguan

All slings. The smallest being the LP. The largest being the diamantinensis (5cm)

The 5th is a P. sazimai, which I'm quite excited about. Will be about 2.5 - 3 ", so a bit bigger than the others.

I will probably stick to new worlds for the foreseeable future though. There are many old worlds I love, but the strength of the venom makes me not want one!!
