Growth Rate: The growth rate of this species is medium. I purchased my girls as spiderlings of 1/4" (0.635cm) in size. After the first year she had grown to one and a half inch (1.5"). With constant feeding and with temperatures in the low to mid 80's, they reached a size of three inches (7.62cm) within three years.

  • Are Brachypelma slow growers?

    This is a slow growth rate and long life span compared to tropical species of Mygalomorphs who may grow to sizes over ten inches in as little as three years. Brachypelma are easy to collect in the wild as they are often found in large aggregations and live in burrows which are easily dug up or flooded.
