Does any epigyne mean adult?

[Deroplatys]

So i was just given an adult male Holconia insignis today and in comparison to my female he is a monster. I know they have longer legs but he's got a bigger body size aswell. I thought my female was adult given her size and the fact that i can see the epigyne, but now im just wondering if she might be sub.

How long after reaching adult will it be safe to pair them up?

That's why I was hoping you could take another pic from underneath, yeah you can see it in sub female insignis but not much of it.

Totally forgot >_<
Will try tonight.

About 1/3rd of it is showing in subs, compared to the adult pic I posted. They are a pretty cool spider if you like spiders, cheap entertainment.

Will check back to your pic. Here is that shot you wanted, what do you think?

 

[Galapoheros]

ooooh yeah, it's mature.

Thats music to my ears
How long does it take after moulting to adult for the female to be mature?
I've only ever mated jumpers before, which dont do sperm webs do they?
I saw a small sheet of web in the males enclosure today, that would be a sperm web correct?

Yeah, kind of looks like a hammock?, that'd be the sperm web. As soon as you see the female eat something, I'd say go for it. They stay together a pretty long time, finally she just scoots him away. I'd give some hiding places though so they don't keep running into each other later, then take him out and back in his own spider pad.

Ok so i just introduced them together, a large exo terra viv filled with pieces of cork bark to hide behind. The male ran into the female when i put him in accidentally, he then realised she was a female and tried to grab her, she didnt like it so ran off. He then behan rubbing his palps on her piece of cork bark and vibrating his whole body, seen him now wandering the viv after a lot of rubbing, now drumming the sides. She's 8 days mature, its not too soon is it?
