Good show, chap!

The first moult w/a new sling is always exciting, and for some of us the excitement is brand new every time, no matter how many moults we live through!

Good looking slings.
The substrate looks a tad wet though.

"Precious" is a great name for the B. albopilosum, but "BR Deli" seems a bit odd for a G. aureostriata... ;P :D

You beat me to the names spidergoddess!

I can't say by 1st person experience for curlies, but both are the faster growers of their respective families. Little Chaco's, in particular, grow vigorously in the 1st couple years of their lives.
