There can be some factors that will or may effect the growth rate of spiders...some say substrate, temps , types of food,appetite of individual spider,sex of the spider...I have a parahybana and when I got it it was around half to three quarters of an inch...this was in February...it is around 4 to 4 1/2 inches at the present time...not trying to be a smart ass but are you sure it is in fact a parahybana ?? here is a pic of mine...


Regards, Mike :rolleyes:
