B boehmi juv. female

Such a gorgeous spider! This species is so stunning. I will definitely get one sometime, but I don't feel quite ready to deal with the hair kicking this species is known for quite yet. Only been in this hobby about a month and half.

Thank you, she certainly is!
She's moulted twice since I got her in September and she's almost doubled in size.
WOW! :astonished: That is CRAZY fast growth for a Brachpyelma species. What size was she when you first got her? And what temperature are you keeping at?
 
I haven't had any problems with hair kicking, but then I don't bother her at all, and only go in her enclosure for spot-cleaning, feeding, and watering.

She was around 70mm DLS when I got her, and she's probably around 120mm DLS now (so nearly doubled in size was perhaps a slight exaggeration!).
I'm keeping her at 24oC, with a night-time drop to 20oC.

You can see here just how much she grew between moults: https://arachnoboards.com/threads/who-molted-today.210472/post-3332623
