As with most Grammostola spp., they are pretty slow-growing...monster_bugs said:

Both. They certainly aren't the slowest growing species by far, but it does take awhile. IME, they aren't as slow-growing as some Brachypelma spp.. However, all my Grammostola spp. take awhile to molt and don't have a lot of growth with each molt.monster_bugs said:
For example, one of my G. aureostriata has molted twice and only gained a total of 1/4".

G. aureostriata is the fastest growing of the Grammostola species. They start showing full adult color at a fairly early size, And are incredibley docile
