I know that they grow fast,and i want to keep track of how fast. I'm doing this mainly for myself but i thought it would be interesting to some keepers who want to get an exact idea of their growth rate.
I got 3 slings on 23. April 2021,the breeder said they were at the 2nd instar. I noticed that there's an exuviae in the enclosure of one of the slings which was noticeably bigger than the other two,so i'll assume that one is 3i.

Main characters of this diary:
AG1 ,nicknamed "Big Brother"
DLS:1cm (0.4inch)
Assuming 3rd instar?
AG2 ,nicknamed "Fearless"
DLS: .7-.8cm (0.3 inch)
Assuming 2nd instar
AG3,nicknamed "Avalanche"
DLS: .7-.8cm (0.3 inch)
Assuming 2nd instar
(All images were taken at the exact same focal length and focus,so their sizes are directly comparable)

I will add to the diary when something happens related to their growth.I'll just start by today's activity.

2 May 2021 (9 days after acquiring the slings):
Avg. temperature in the room: 20C (68f)
Both AG1 and AG2 ate a dubia baby nymph abdomen that was tossed the night before.Their abdomens are huge now. No food until next instar. AG3 ignores food,but it's already pretty plump.
