Hey people of the BTS, hope everything is all good and cool in your neighbourhoods.
A couple quick questions about my lovely little M. Balfouri.
I read that M. Balfouri become mature around 2 years old at about 4 inches. Is this true?
If it is true, why is it that my M. Balfouri after having it for 15 months is only just about 1 inch?
Hmmm, now that I think about it, about 6 months in from when I got it, it tried to escape and lost a leg in the process. It regained the leg a month later after a moult, then somewhere between regaining the leg to now it has moulted once, found the exo skeleton a month ago when I moved it to a bigger container. Maybe losing the leg had an effect on this. In all it has moulted 4 times since I had it as a 0.75cm spiderling.
I'm not worried about it or anything, just wondering if that was the case and why is mine still so small since the care sheet I used has it down as a fast grower. Want to know if I've been fed bull on the species info part of the sheet.
This is the care sheet I was using :- http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/forum...are-sheet.html
Thanks
