Greetings fellow hobbyists!
As many of you are aware, I got 4 lovely Euathlus sp. "red" slings back in 2011. They were part of the first captive-bred sac over here in Germany for this species, born 08/2011. Now, 3 years later on the spot nearly, one of the 4 molted out as a mature male. I've posted the stuff in my picture-thread, but since not everyone checks there, I'd like to know if you guys keeping and breeding them can confirm males maturing that "fast" for this otherwise extremely slow growing species? I'm seriously surprised by this...

Some pics:

"4of4", Euathlus sp. "red", ~2.25" MM - ...and a birds-eye view. The little guy dug down all to the bottom, that's the white you see there
