Thanks guys! Hopefully it won’t be hard to find a female for him when the time comes

Question, how will I know when he reaches his penultimate molt? Obviously still a long way, but just curious

@antinous penultimate is an educated guess for the keeper.

But often (not always) the molt cycle for that last molt will be significantly longer than previous cycles....start wondering at about 6".

@antinous AFAIK, there's no easy way to tell when a male tarantula is penultimate.
