I just got back from a skiing trip in NC and i got the great suprise to see that my L. parahybana had molted!...... It is truly amazing how fast they grow. I had my doubts until this molt.....he/she went from about 2" to 3"! i couldnt believe my eyes!

anyone with fast growing species have any stories on how big and how fast some of yours grew?

Later

i know pokies seem to grow at an amazing rate, i had a p. regalis that went from 4.5'' to 6-6.5 in one molt i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me until i got out the tape measure.I hear that p. ornatas grow really fast.

I got both my pokies in mid August of '02; the ornata was about 1.25" and the regalis was about 1.5". Now, six months later, the ornata is just over 3" and the regalis is 3.5", and that's with a modest feeding schedule. I'm sure I could've fed them every day (I'm pretty sure they'd both be willing to eat every day) and they'd be even bigger now.

my P.cambridgei seems like it doubles in size every time it molts.then on the other hand I have a A.bicoloratum that seems like it prefers to be a sling and just insists on not growing even after a molt:confused: I dont know I mean even my A.chalcodes is growing faster.
