H. Pulchripes

0.1 H. Pulchripes 3" 6/2/2017-8/8/2017 I've noticed my H pulchripes molting very fast anyone else experiencing the same with this species?
Great pic man, what do you mean by molting very fast? My sling has been a reasonably fast grower thus far...
 
Very nice! Yes I experience incredible growrh speed but only with males before. I a 0.75" sling hook within a year. Just a couple weeks ago actually. And he is a monster size for the species.
 
@KezyGLA It was the same way with me. All three of mine grew really quickly (matured right at a year) and all turned out to be males. One of my guys was a beast and much bigger than it's two bothers. I was able to find a date for the 1st one but the big one and the other have not been so lucky. I've been thinking about putting him up for next to nothing so he has a chance to breed. It's be a shame to lose out on his size genes.
 
The growth rate to me is just incredible it hasn't been much more then 60 days since it's last molt and it turned from a 2" specimen to roughly a 3" specimen. I hope he/she isn't a male ahaha I'll be sad. Don't know if I'll breed my female. Maybe I'll send her out one day for someone else to try though.
