If you want a large specimen, just use a tad more money and buy a sub-adult or an adult?And I can second [USER=27444]@Arachnoclown[/USER] about the T just fasting until the cycle catches up. I have few slings who are just waiting and fasting at the moment. Their abdomen is plump as heck so it's all about the waiting game for now. A tarantula can't molt before the new exoskeleton is ready - you can't hurry that process.Anyway, LP is a nice choice for a large terrestrial. I would also recommend Acanthoscurria geniculata - Fast growing, beautiful species. Not aggressive, but has quite ferocious feeding response so thinks that whatever moves is food.Here's my juvenile genic female, Maisa<img src="https://puu.sh/ClxMi/9f4228e750.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
