How old is she? I love tarantulas with stout legs, and I have been thinking of getting some species from this genus but I've heard they grow pretty slow.
Hi, she is about 5 years old. I would say growth rate is on a par with Brachypelma, possibly a little slower. Not a large species but unique so if you get the chance to get some, I would recommend 😊

Thanks! And if you don’t mind me asking, are you keeping her any differently? A bit cooler by any chance?
Have been doing yes. The only time she has bee 'warm' was when she was produc8ng a sac which unfortunately she ate after a few days. The male is still alive so I am trying again but not holding my breath.
