G. portentosa B. fusca N. cinerea P. pallida Can find any two people who agree on this... Depends on the temperature greatly, but from my experience... Portentosa- Mature at 5 months, lives for 2+ years N. cinerea- Mature at 2.5 months, lives for 8+ months P. pallida- Matures at 3.5 months, lives for 8+ months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugmanPrice Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I had one HUGE female G. portentosa that lived for just over three years (and she was an adult when I got her but for how long I do not know). Seems like at around 88F G. portentosa do mature in 5-6 months, but growth depends alot on the environment (temp, food, humidity, population density...).
