My female spider royal has gone form 300grs in January to 1100 grs when i weigth her yesterday. Now i am not complaining as it good to see a royal feed without problems

I fed her every 7 days, no diferent to any other of my royals, just she seem to be growing fast

Do you think a should cut her down to 10-14 days

I know that spiders generaly grow and fed better than other morphs, but just wanted to know if any one else has had this growth rate.

Comments welcome Laughing

i do think that it's a huge weightgain tbh, my female spider is from august last year, so 11 month's now and she is 900gr but a friend of mine has a female spider that's 1300gr (but then again she's from march last year) as long as she doesn't look unhealthy i would not worry to much, butdo think you could cut back to feeding every 10 days or just give her a slightly smaller prey Wink

My first spider got to over 1000g within her first year. They grow like weeds! Then she stopped feeding at 1100g for three months!!!

Does seem a bit much to put on in a few short months. Does she looks overly massive? Any scale seperation? Or distinct seperate I should say?
