I think we can consider our self very lucky, here in Canada, Martin(Tarcan) have 4 types of Australian t's.
I'm evantually gonna get all 4 of them, so far I have only S.crassipes and I love her, she's sooo voracious
Hi Alain,
Yes, the P.crassipes are fairly fast growers (as are all Phlogius spp.), at least until they near maturity, then they start to slow down and moult annually. BTW, I do NOT consider P.crassipes to belong to the same genus as those "Phlogius" found in PNG, true Phlogius only share a distant relation to that group of spp. IMO. I think real Phlogius are endemic to Oz.
Some of the Selenotypus are fast, but the majority take a fair amount of time to grow. S.plumipes put the size on quickly, as do sp. NEBO, but some of the others are a little slower. Males of all Selenotypus spp. mature within about 2 years, a lot quicker than the females, part of their survival strategy most likely.
