This is the largest of the 3 OBT I have now. And the most radiant reddish-orange colored! It's about 4 1/2" = 5" now. Nope, still haven't handled them... but I have poked their sticky feet. Brave or stupid... definitely one of those at least. :P

Yeah, the "OBT" originated from their name orange baboon tarantula, but the hobbyists affectionately call them orange bitey thing instead. XD It's because of their INSANE temper, and the fact that they're the second most dangerous tarantula to own due to their very potent venom.
5 inch usambara, that's gonna be about it for growing
you may only get a single molt annually from now on
because you say it's the fastest grower you have, it sounds suspiciously male
however there's nothing that visually confirms that here
they often always look like girls until suddenly they don't
even if you never get a definitive molt at all, upon reaching 5 years of age you'll know then too
considering you're also keeping toe biters and centipedes OBT envenomation sounds like a moderate risk
