I have a 1-1 1/2" regalis. I was wondering how fast they grow. He is in a large vial and he molted a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping to find a 12 x 12x 12 exo terra at the show tomorrow. Would he be able to be in that for awhile? I like the idea of a front opening enclosure.
Thanks
Steph

oh wow! I guess I should look for the big one. Do males or females grow faster?
Thanks

I cant say if which grows faster by experiance.. I had 2 females.. Sold one at 4"..

But from everything that I have read... Males grow faster than females..
Though.. That is also one thing depending on their food intake & the temps. you keep them at..

The more you feed & the warmer you keep.. The faster they grow...

My advice.. Dont get one of the larger ones if you are short on space..
I have my 5" female in a 2.5 gallon enclosure.. She has more than enough space.. I plan to leave her in there permanantly...

The only critters in my collection that get more than a 2.5 gallon are ones that get larger than 6".. Then they get a 5.5 gallon...
