Yes they do. But they can be hard to notice with all that setae.

If wanting to check if specimen is mature male, look for emboli.

Avicularia are often one the easiest to check for emboli. Before maturity, their pedipalps have pink tips and when they mature the pink tips are gone. If your male still has pedipalps with pink tips, they are not mature yet.
