My B. smithii seemed to double in size after it's 3rd molt in my care. I'm guessing it's age is approximately two years old... just a guess, though. Only had her/him (haha!) since Feb.

Medium to medium-fast. Avicularia aren't the best eaters in the world, so they don't gain a ton of mass each molt, but they still aren't too slow.

Will grow pretty quick up to about 2-3", but will then slow down to a typical Grammostola snail's pace.

b.smithi (i herd slow!)
Brachypelma are notoriously slow growers, but B. smithi are one of the faster ones. Can get to 4" in a little over a year or so, but slows down as it starts getting up there in size.

I'm not sure, but I think they are faster grower. Some one else will have to comment on this.

Fast, and gain alot of mass with each molt. I've seen even large specimens gain considerable size with a molt.

Fast grower, will mature in 12-16 months.
