A. Avic growth rate

[Andrew Larson]

I'm new to tarantulas and a local reptile store has got both a sub adult female pinktoe and a bunch of 1/2" pinktoe slings. I was wondering how soon the slings would get to have about a 2-3" legspan?

i recieved my aroun 1.5" and it has been a year and she has 3.9" right now and it wasnt that "well fed" ( as in.. i did not power fed)

So one could easily hit that size in under a year?

If you feed it well, and keep it around 80 degrees, those slings will hit your 2-3" mark in a year.

My A.avic is 7 months old and at the 2" mark, currently in pre-molt.

I've got an A.Avic, i've had mine for about a month and a half now, its only about half an inch in size and hasn't molted yet. I tryed power feeding but mine just doesn't seem to like to eat a lot. Since i've had it, it only ate once, that was a couple weeks ago.
