My pastel male I got in 2007 grew pretty fast. In less than 2 years he has gone from about 14 inches to 50 inches as of today. I wish I had records of his weight gain, I didn't have a scale back then
--I also kinda wish he was a girl but there's no hiding those hemi's (particularily after seeing him try to breed my normal male- long story lol and both are 100% male)

Took my normal male 4 years to reach 44in. (noting that he was a HORRIBLE feeder as baby-juvie and now as an adult is a pig)

I am curious, do morphs in general have a tendency to grow faster? I've heard spiders are usually excellent feeders, growers, and breeders.
