They're not that slow when they're kept warm and fed often. I consider them to be moderate growth. The color is reddish brown, not just brown.
Mine grew a lot faster than my brachys kept it mostly room temp. They grow slow if not fed often I think , they also need deep sub to burrow and thrive. I see videos on youtube were they are kept on a inch of sub , this is very bad.

Right, they're stranded in shallow soil, in the wild that's certain death for them.

Theraphosa also build very deep burrows 2ft+ , but not as deep as king baboon I bet. Burrowing in the wild is how Terrestrial Ts survive , aboreal species though obv live in or around trees. GBB lives in smaller trees I think also.

no.. GBB's are terrestrial. True they're not fossorial with extensive dens but they are not arboreal.
