Grammostola's can actually grow FAST

[SNAFU]

-If its a G. Iheringi that is! My little Iheringi I picked up in January from Joel at Southern Spider Works has really sprouted. He's ahead of my little L.Parahybana that I bought in November from Patrick. She was about 2 1/2" then and has been no slowpoke herself, molting every couple of months. My Iheringi was about 2 1/4-2 1/2" in January and with this last molt is now a full 5" and dwarfs my little Para.
Here's a pic of him on Jan. 11th & a pic taken yesterday (June 3rd) to compare.
Rusty then-

and now-

A couple more pics just because.
I knew this little guy had a bottomless pit appetite but did'nt expect him to grow this quick. The L.Parahybana is in premolt now though so she's trying to catch up to him!

Nothing but crickets so far. I have been thinking of getting some roaches & starting a colony, not sure yet though.

cool

I've got two (from the same sac as yours I think . . .) and they are definitely on the fast growing side. They are really cool, and different from my other Grammostolas; always doing something, and pretty willing to slap the crap out of me if I get too close. They remind me of black and red GBB's (but without the hair kicking!) Nice pics!
