Very pretty! I'm hoping King Kong turns out to be a female as well. He or she is only about 3 inches right now.

I love this species, the only disturbing thing is, they grow sooo slow...

I grows so slow. Mine was 1" When I bought it on 02/08/02. My first T by the way. It molted on;
03/13/02
04/21/02
06/12/02
08/04/02
12/08/02
06/17/03
12/07/03
06/22/04
and now it is about 7" or more. Her name is "Princess." I have never heard of anyone having a male. If anyone has ever had one, and has some pics, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Also any mating experiences with this species.

My girl just molted as well. She was 6 inches before her molt, I don't know how big she is now because she hasn't come out of her burrow yet. :wall: I got her with a missing leg too so I want to see how much it regenerated.

Slow Growers

I agree with you 100% on that one priZZ, mine is the slowest growing t ive got right now! Even slower then my rosehair! Either then that it is a really intersting t to watch, mine has burrowed heavily and beautiful construction i might add!

I have been spending any extra money I have on Ts. But I have been thinking of buying a camera. Maybe when I have too many Ts.
