Very cute!

I'm not a fan of GBB's myself, but I do enjoy watching the way they change between molts. Ours just molted recently and is now about 2.5-3 inches. :D

I bought two GBB's about 4 months ago maybe 5. One of them has absolutely shot up. It has molted 4 times, 4th was last night. The other has molted twice. The biggest of the two just acquired full blue legs and is awesome. I'm not sure why the difference in growth. They both have the same enviornment and cage setup, and are from the same sack.

I would say genetics have a factor in growth!!!

maybe one is a female and one is male? dont males tend to grow a bit faster and mature out faster than a female would?

I was thinking the same thing. Time will tell. I got some good under shots of the biggest GBB. I will post them so we can get some opinions on if it is male or female.
