i may be getting some at .5" and am wondering how long it will take for them to reach 1.5-2"? i know their notorious for growing slowly though i imagine it's much faster as slings
Ok i got 2 golden knees about a week ago .5", i haven't fed them yet because they went right into pre molt. One molted yesterday, how long should i wait to feed, 1 or 2 weeks? or sooner?depends on room temp and your feeding schedule my room temp is around 72 degrees and i feed mine 2 roaches a week except on molt weeks and i've had her (shh don't let her know she might be a male i'm mentally willing her to be female) around 3 months give or take and she's molted 4 times in that time going from 1/2" to 1" i think she might be around an inch and a quarter now though and it took her being about 3/4" to get her coloring in i hope this helps
couple days. i got some 1/4" slings that are growing pretttyyy slow. about as slow as my curlyhairs were.Beginner T, very docile.

i'd wait 3-4 days before feeding them or just make sure their fangs are hard before you tryBeginner T, very docile.

How do i check if the fangs are hard on a .75" sling?i'd wait 3-4 days before feeding them or just make sure their fangs are hard before you try
lol thats why you wait more than just 2 days like most people suggest and basically it's a little dark spot it's hard to seeHow do i check if the fangs are hard on a .75" sling?
Yeah i figured because they are much smaller there is less exoskeleton to harden and it hardens faster. I will try after 4-5 days.lol thats why you wait more than just 2 days like most people suggest and basically it's a little dark spot it's hard to see
yeah for adults i usually do a week to a week and a half and slings get 4-5 daysYeah i figured because they are much smaller there is less exoskeleton to harden and it hardens faster. I will try after 4-5 days.
my 4 rosies varying from slings to adults all eat semi regularly (rosies tend to fast) and i've only had 1 out of 4 molt since i got them in november and it was in premolt for over a month they are crazy slow just like my adult has been in premolt for a while now as well.I too want to know the growth rate of pulchripes... Im expecting it next week. also curlyhairs and rosea, any info about the growth rates of these slings???
i wish mine would molt out cause when she does i plan on breeding her but she's just been sitting in premolt for about a month fat as can be just likes to hang out i'm like mentally willing her to hurry up and moltI have three golden knees. one tiny one and 2 that are about a inch long. One is growing way faster than the other one. Heavier built looking.
I also had a rosy that was bought at a pet store about four inches. It ate like a pig then stopped eating and sat around for about two months then moulted out and its huge!!

I feel the same way about my Avic Avic, tomorrow will be 3 weeks sense she has ate. HUGE bald spot. She is just taking her time molting...but my G.Pulchripes 1 has a big abdomen and (2) is smaller, so i think (1) is a female and (2) is a Male but thats just me wishing. (2) molted and is still smaller then (1) and (1) should molt any day now...its kind of cool having all 3 of my Ts in premolt at the same time.i wish mine would molt out cause when she does i plan on breeding her but she's just been sitting in premolt for about a month fat as can be just likes to hang out i'm like mentally willing her to hurry up and molt
size doesn't mean anything as far as gender goes especially as slings they can have growth spurts so to speak also a bald spot doesn't mean premolt it means it's been kicking or rubbing it's U hairs off dark abdomen means premolt also lol it seems to pretty much happen that why about 17 of my 21 went into premolt the same week and molted within 3 days of each otherI feel the same way about my Avic Avic, tomorrow will be 3 weeks sense she has ate.

Yeah, pinheads are a pain in the butt. It can be hard to find a store that carries them, and even harder to work with them without losing/killing them.yeah thanks. i was wondering so i would know how long i'd have to buy
