They're such a sight to behold after a fresh molt.. last molt in late September and then once again today.. great growth speed at 82F and with frequent feeding.
She would make an amazing first spider if it wasn't for the price and (potentially) slow growth. She's calm as can be yet still eats like a pig, very hardy and easy to care for, and possibly one of the best looking Ts in the hobby with that shiny velvety black especially fresh after a molt.
Growth speed isn't bad at all if you keep them at 82F and feed them every other day, I would say they grow quick if you do that, however it's possible that my specimen is genetically predisposed to grow faster (though I don't think it'll be night and day, and they should still grow quicker if you keep them warm and well fed enough).
The main problem is price and availability, I have seen an adult or subadult female for sale maybe 3 or 4 times in the last few years and they always have an eye watering price tag. Even slings aren't easy to come across nor are they cheap (especially that you'll wanna buy more than one of you want a female).
