X. intermedia 7i; 4.25 Inch DLS; Molt date 11-5-17; Photo'd 11-8-17

This guy is growing fast at 4.25" DLS in 7 months! the dish its standing on is 4" in diameter.
It is an attractive T! This is my first experience raising a intermedia - I love the growth rate and changes in color at each molt. I've posted a photo after each molt in the Xenesthis gallery for those that are interested. This guy is one of Austin's creation/kids, of which he also posted photo's at 1i & 2i, so the entire lifespan of this species is on display in the same gallery.
 
@Thelema777 This guy is surprisingly calm. Only flicked hair once when I moved it to another enclosure. Never given a threatening pose. If spooked while working in its enclosure, will run a short distance and freeze. It will usually remain stationary when I open its cage to feed (aggressive eater) or work and will seldom use its hide. It prefers high moisture and will usually hang out near or on the water soaked moss that you see him on in the picture.
I've heard from others that they can be pretty feisty - mine guys temperament is apparently uncharacteristic for this species?
