Does anyone have a A avic Motling record? Mine is about 2.5-3inch leg span I was wondering how fast moderate slow these guys grow and upon comparing caresheets the growth rates contradicted one another IE slow then I found a fast one... well any way anyone got a molt record?

different things to consider, different foods, how often fed, male, female, humidity, all sorts of different scenarios that will affect the growth rate from faster to slower.

Avic's are moderate in growth speed. It does really depend on the temp they are kept at and how much they are fed.

I'd say that yours being 2.5-3" is 1 to 1.5 years old. I've had slings that have gone from .5-.75" to 2-2.5" in a year.

I am working on one molt record right now, I hope this helps:

A. aurantiaca- Recieved on 4.12.03@ .75"
Molted on 5.14.03 went to 1"
Molted on 6.18.03 went to 1.25"
Molted on 7.25.03 now at 1.5"

here's one from my A avic sling:

purchased 11/14/02 at approx .75"

Molted:
1/25
2/25
3/27
6/4

now at approx 2.5" or so. I keep them at 80 degrees, and feed them 1-2 times per week.
