    I'll need to breed cats once they reach adult size :p

    They aren't Chinese spiders.

    What's an LP? Are they the ones that get HUGE lol? Are they considered to be a fast growing species? Tbh, i expected faster growth from my T's. I'm not complaining, they just grow slower than i expected.

    Damon, where do you get all that crap from haha? I think i need to go digging through my old GI Joes and get some body parts for my T enclosures haha.

    LPs are Lasiodora parahybana
    Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeaters.

    Some grow way faster than others.
    G. pulchripes

    G. rosea about the same age. Give or take a couple of months.

    Then you have something like my G. pulchra that has never molted in my care. 6-7-8 months?

    The LPs do grow quick and get huge!
    I'm guessing here because I can't really remember when I got them. They went from 1/4" to about 5" in 18 months or so.
    But I take it easy with feeding them. If they are plump I'll skip a week or 2, no rush for them to be giants.

    It takes years for some of them to become mature
