Typhochlaena seladonia 8i female

Fairly sure she’s mature. If not she’s close.
Nice, how old is she?
I got her in September 2020. I believe she was born August 2020. She’s molted every 6-8 weeks since then. She’s almost 2 inches and her spermathacea look ready to me, however I’ll probably wait another molt unless a male drops in my lap tomorrow.
 
Wow, sounds perfect. Do you have any Tips for the raising of my slings?
I‘ve keep my seladonia warm and moist. Temps are usually around 77-83F with a small drop at night but never below 73F. I keep them with lots of ventilation like Avicularia but I keep the soil lightly moist in their enclosures. I feed the smallest slings small prekilled crickets. I feed them twice a week for the first couple molts and then once a week. I mist right next to their door once a week for drinking. I also have a tiny water dish but I’ve never seen them use it.

I personally believe this species benefits from a little higher temps than most. But I’m no expert. Just a hobbyist trying to figure out a species that I couldn’t find tons of info on.
 
Aren’t these illegal in the states? Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve wanted one and stopped looking because I read that they’re illegal.
