How come none of the T’s I have are feisty? Maybe they do t like roaches and prefer something else?
They are all individuals of the species.I have a range. I have a GBB that is supposed to be a heavy webber and aggressive eater. He is neither of those things. My A. genic, supposedly a murder machine, really doesn't jump on pray. He more meanders over to the general area and waits for the pray to get close.
So even when you have species with a strong feeding response, each T is different and don't always fit the mold.
Surely you mean how "big" are they right. My GBB is 3.5" and I've had her for a year or so. She has had about 8-10 months to settle in. She's just not the textbook GBB. My A. genic is about 1" DLS so maybe he'll grow into his appetite. He's breakingme in slowly so I don't sell him on Craig's List (kidding!)How old are they and how long have you had them?
Have a similar sized GBB girl maybe smaller and a 1.5" genic and it truly hurts that yours don't have those traits YET. Gives them so much character. It will come! We all have some odd spoods in our collection!Surely you mean how "big" are they right. My GBB is 3.5" and I've had her for a year or so. She has had about 8-10 months to settle in.

And you are right and reiterated my point. They're individuals. OP mentioned in another post they have an LP and was expecting it to be an eating machine. Maybe it will be, but it very well could not be, but it isn't something to stress about.
Hahaha my daughter was looking at the GBB today telling it that it has so much potential and that he needs to step it up.

If it makes you feel better about the genic when my N.chromatus was little it would panic bolt and stress curl when it saw feeders , and if it attacked it would be very passive. It molted once and then turned into a savage murder machine that leaps from a few inches away for prey lol . Sometimes those hungry species slings are just so nervous . My geniculata was nervous at first too but not as bad as that darn chromatus lolHahaha my daughter was looking at the GBB today telling it that it has so much potential and that he needs to step it up. LOL
Oh I got 2 little slings...T. albopilosum 1.25" + T. epicuraneum 1". Both used to run to their hidey hole. Now both 2 molts in...one played "give me back my moss" and the other gave me a threat poseIf it makes you feel better about the genic when my N.chromatus was little it would panic bolt and stress curl when it saw feeders , and if it attacked it would be very passive.

No. I meant "old".Surely you mean how "big" are they right.
That makes no sense. I'll take your word for it.No. I meant "old".
Spider time is measured in growth, which is determined by molts equaling size.
Lol.That makes no sense. I'll take your word for it.
