Anyone who has had a C.Versicolor sling, how fast did it grow?
I understand they are suppposed to be fairly fast growers. My sling is just a but under 1/2" right now.
Thanks

This little girl went from 1" to 4.5" in 1.5 years.
Of course temperature, feedings and individuals very.

I would rate mine as medium. I got a P striata long after C versicolor, which was my very first tarantula. The pokie quickly overtook the versicolor in terms of size. Having said that, my versicolor is arguably one of the best looking Ts out there period as well as in my collection. It's well worth the wait & they don't take forever to develop if you feed them once every week instead of once per month.
