[QUOTE="Allthingsterrarium, post: 139433, member: 3930"] Hiya guys! I thought I should upload some pictures because of something I've been wondering about size and age ever since I got these two that I thought you might be able to help me figure out. This is mostly for October, my brachypelma boehmei who is a probable male and many of you have already met but also just for the heck of it I have two pictures of Habanero, my brachypelma smithi who is a confirmed male and you've probably seen less of. Habanero is almost always a good sport but October is usually a nightmare to get out of his tank because he's so stubborn and you can probably see how much hair he's kicked due to his bald spot. I've had him since late June or Early july of 2015 and he had about a 3 inch legs span at the time though I don't know how old he was then. Based on the pictures how old do you guys think he is? More importantly I'm just curious about how much bigger he'll probably get and how close he is to reaching his full size? How many molts away do you think? As for Habanero I've had him since June of 2016 and he's the younger and smaller or the two. He also had a roughly 3 inch leg-span when I got him.
