[Lopez]

It all depends on:

Feeding regime
Sex
Husbandry conditions

Disagree totally! I've had my curly since March, and it's gone from about 1" to over 4" - it's the most frequent molter I have....

I, too, would call them very fast growers, assuming they are kept warm and fed well. We got our first B. albopilosum on 2/14/99 as a 1/2" sling. It turned out to be a female, and she grew so fast (by dint of almost daily feedings) that she was mature by December of that same year. We mated her with a B. albo male and got an eggsac the following spring! I don't know of too many species that grow faster than that.

Curly hairs are likely the fast growing Ts I've seen, but A.genic's might be a little faster. Males will often reach maturity at a year and a half
