new tarantula sling, help

[bk201]

does any one know how long it will take a Selenotholus sp. "glenelva" sling to reach like 5 centimeters?
its currently 1.5 centimeters
if any one could give me any information on what size food they need im using tiny crickets at the moment
and also what size should the tank be?
any info would be appreciated
thanks,

Hi Mate

keep it in some thing the size of a Chinese container on damp peat moss.

feed it small crickets and keep it at a balmy 30 degrees.
it will probably eat a cricket a week and grow a to about 50 mm by winter
