[QUOTE="Poec54, post: 41442, member: 3524"] Those two species are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Roseas are from a dry, harsh climate and require dry substrate. Growth is slow and they periodically fast for months at a time. With stirmi, things happen at a scale and a pace that is impressive. As rainforest dwellers they need more humidity and moisture (along with good ventilation) than a rosea could tolerate. They're always hungry and growth is fast. 2nd instar slings are over an inch, and at 3rd instar, they're two inches. I've seen 9" unsexed stirmi molt into 10" adult males. [/QUOTE]
