Hi!
I currently keep one Eresus Walcknaeri spider, I’ve only ever kept jumpers & BDFBs before. I got it last year in July unsexed and has grown from lentil size to kidney bean size and been rehoused once.

i just wanted to know if there’s a way to know the sex just to know how long do I have with my choky tick boi 🥲 I know molt pics aren’t 100% sure and it loves to weave the molts into the web so it’s basically impossible to get them without ripping apart the web. Jumpers give multiple signs but IIRC velvets have different lifespans between males and females.

If you feed it like that, who knows...
Should be a female, we need a Pic of the boxing gloves.
