Default B albopilosum

how long does it take these to get from 1cm sling to say, 1.5-2 inches?
I've read that these grow faster than all other Brachypelmas but how much faster?
Its just I've got 4 slings coming tomorrow.

The good thing about these is they eat quite abit my small sling ate every day unless shed was due or had just shed but growth is quick you should see a difference within 6 months you might be supried just keep feeding and temp up but if prey isnt taken after say half hour remove it as sling very vunerable

right OK, quite fast but not as fast as my L parahybana

I have a problem, I ordered 2 slings from someone on the forum who has loads.
I ordered 2 but because of the weather they are sending me 4 in case of weather fatalities, this is OK but i need to find some pots to put the other 2 in if they all arrive OK.
I have some crix pots that are smaller than normal ones, they are 10x10x5 cm, will these be ok with some kitchen roll in the bottom?

The T's are coming tomorrow morning and they are the smallest pots i have in the house.

I would say the are ok temperally, but a bit to big tbh. Go to a shop that developes camera films, they usually have loads of old film cases. Asda and places also do these.
