I think the shape of the pedipalps indicates this is a female but I never get to observe her long enough. I've had her for 11 months and she has never molted, are amblypygids like really slow growing?
I had mine for nearly two years and it only molted twice. In fact after I got it there was such a long period before it molted that there was i time I thought it was already mature if it wasn’t molting. They’re much slower growing than most true spiders like huntsmans
@RezonantVoid mine was the same. Never saw it catch prey, very sensitive to vibrations and light and every time I almost saw it catch prey I looked away for a second and it’d grabbed it. I just gave it small pre killed crickets as it kept getting spooked by live ones and refused to eat
@pannaking22 according to Minibeast wildlife they are sold as juvies. They end up with a head length of 10mm but this one was a total length of 10mm atm
