Because it looks somewhat like a mature male. Can you take a pic of the pedipalps?

He’s a mature male, the only thing on his mind is FEMALE.

@Skipp Not immediately, no. They can last for a year or longer but they will rarely eat and slowly waste away. Try offering food anyway and you can leave the prey in with him for a few days since there is no chance of a molt. He may eat it just because it annoys him in the end.

You can always sell him on to a breeder or trade him, there's a good demand for males of this species and he's still pretty fresh.

@Skipp
Perhaps you aren't aware but male GBBs are in high demand, I'd find someone on this site to do a breeding loan with. If the pairing and sac are successful you'll not only have a replacement for him but some slings to sell or trade.

You could make a zillion dollars by loaning him to breeders with females.
