You've got a mature male.

Yeah, a picture would be great. Hard to tell what it is without have a look see first. Good luck on that picture, I'm assuming it will be through the glass. LOL

Added thought-is he leaking any fluid/bleeding?

If it does turn out to be a MM, just put it up for loan in the invertsonals section. Then you could do a 50/50 split with the person your loaning it to.

ok ill post a pictue tonight when he comes out of his hole but i dont think he is leaking any fluid i didnt see any spots on the cage

look close at both legs. does it have one on each? are they on the "underside"?

 

[samsbugs]

Did it recently molt? It could be an injury that will heal up after another molt.
Or it may be a MM, in this case it will be both pedipalps (spelling).

I'm still posotive that what you are seeing are the emboli of a MM.
