sp.blue question

[soulreaver_x01]

allright,ive had all my spiders for a year now.my hatian brown is totally huge.i bought a sp.blue the same time last year,and he/she has went from the size of a dime to close to the size of a 50 cent peice..when do they fully mature?i hear that males are mature in a year,females up to 2 years.does this mean i have a female??we have a pretty blue color,but still not big at all after a year.ive had no problems with he/she.it eats like a hog,and is still quite the pet hole,but likes to hang out every once an awhile,lol.thanx for all the help over the last year!!!!

I know they get quit a bit bigger than that, Im thinking 5"+ish. How warm/humid/often are you feeding yours? I have one that I keep at 76deg/high humidity/frequent feedings and it molts about once every 5-6wks, granted its small and I've only had it for 5-6wks but it molted during shipping and over the weekend. Currently its 2" or so.

just curious XC, how often are you misting your sing?

Mine molts regularly and has grown from about 3/4" to 2 1/2" in less than a year. I keep it humid and give it the opportunity to burrow or be arboreal, so far its stuck to being a burrower, im sure that will soon change though. I have heard the males mature in 2 years and females in 4 years, not sure on how true that is though. Oh yea, they get a bit bigger than 5" try more like 7-8", they are good sized, very leggy though. Also, i feed mine about once every week or so. When i feed it i feed 2 or 3 roaches. Make sure your misting it regularly... Good luck.

i mist mine once a day..just to get the substraight wet and create a little humidity. I did a little reserach on the singapore rainforest and found that the rainforest stays at 80-90deg with about 70-100% humidity..now that being said i doubt all sp. live in the hart of the rianforest. Actually most of these live in tree burrows from what i understand.

I keep mine in a eco terra cage thats 12x12x18 and left about 3-4" of substraight for him to burrow, as you will see i just posted that what i had thought was a female turned out to be a male, wich is cool for me cuz i rasied it since it was about 3/4" now at a whopping 4.5 and greenishbrown hes quite amazing to see. Just be carfull there fast you can look at my youtube thing to see mine acting all crazy but yeah keep a lid close by.lol

I lightly mist mine when ever it looks like the vial is starting to dry out, around twice a week. I feed all my slings 2-3times a week as well.

Perhaps you should look into creating dwarf signapore blues:razz:
