Re: Esmerelda Profile

Yeah she decided to go on a 6 month feeding break last year and started back up this year. She has lots of catching up to do after that!

My 2 year old male spider is over 4 ft and he's a solid eater so that would be the difference there

aah, ok i thought she was a little smaller than should be at her age. lol. just curious because i only have one so i dont actually know how fast they *should* grow. i know mine only stopped eating for about 3 months then started right back up and hes getting pretty big im excited but somewhere i read that it takes like 15 years for them to get that big it just doesn't seem right to me.

Yeah, I was a little set back with her fasting but since she has started back up again she eats like a champ. I expect her to be a big girl but probably more so in thickness rather than length. I'm expecting my new scale to come in this week so I can give her a proper weight measurement as well!

I love watching them grow! How old is yours?

I wouldn't say that they are that slow of growers at all. The biggest female I've seen was over 3,000 grams and around 6 feet, and I believe she was 5 years old. I wouldn't expect that from a male BP, but it's definitely possible with a female! I think it all depends on how often they feed and if it's a regular thing, but because BP's are known for their fasting (especially in breeding season) they slow down. Too many variables I tell ya!
