Default How long

Just wanting to know how long my Chile Flame ('Euathlus sp'.. i know you dont like the simple terms lol) will take to grow to a respectable size. By that i mean about 1cm in diameter. Only asking as at the moment it must only be about 3-4mm in diameter and is a bit of a bugger to find sometimes as you can imagine!

You might be in for a bit of a wait for your Euathlus sp. to grow. They are a very slow growing spider but more than worth the wait

Raising slings from such a tiny size is always much more rewarding. By the way that baby could probably easily fit through that air gap, it amazes me how small spaces they can get through.

Thanks all for the advice, I have changed the lid for one with smaller and a few more airholes
