Hello everyone n happy new year.

I'll get right to it.
I've had my Caribena versicolor for about 7 months and in that time she has only molted a few times. Got her right out of 3rd in star and she was itsy bitsy.
What are there growth rates?
She does well with a light spray every 3 days n topping up her water dish.

I have her in a taller double vent enclosure. She eats regularly probably the most docile tarantula I have in my entire collection.

The rate you described is typical in my experience. I would put them in the medium growth rate category.

That has been about the speed mine grew as well. One of mine hit the 1.5 inch mark, it went to 3 inches really fast, like within 3 months. Started getting the juvi/adult colors.

Depends a lot on temp and feeding. My first sling was a mature female (dropped a sac) within 18 months of getting her as a sling (probbably 2-3i)

Well I usually keep my house around 21-27 degrees celcius n during the winter the furnace takes out alot of their moisture. I stay away from heat pads and or electric tape.

Thank you for the quick responses.
