I feed you, I nourish you, I keep you warm.

SO WHY DON'T YOU GROW?????

This little Aphonopelma sp."Guatemalen Blue" has reneged on the deal.

 

[Mendi]

You can expect Aphonopelma's to grow about as fast as glaciers move... extremely slow. I have some slings that were maybe 1/6" when I got them a little over a year ago that haven't even made it to 1/2" yet... But think of it this way, you'll get to enjoy even the males around 10 years before they mature

Hmmm seems my bicoloratum pic was too big. I'll have to post another one when I get a chance to dig through my pics for a good one. Until then just check out the Arachnocalendar for it.
