Well this is something that is sort of irrelevant in Tarantula keeping. With different climates comes different growth rates, not only that but feeding plays a big part too. If a Tarantula is kept on the cooler side and fed less often, it will in turn grow slower than, if you kept the exact same Tarantula in a warmer climate with more food. This is then a gradual curve of growth rate as the climate and food source is changed, with warmer climate and more food conceiving in faster growth, and cooler climate and less food in slower growth. So with this information, to get help with you're Tarantula it is size that matters so always use the DLS explained before.</blockquote>
