Hi guys:)

I have a female Haitian Brown (Phormictopus Cancerides), but I just wanted to know how to tell when she will be mature, or if she is already mature??

The males have the tribal hooks and the sperm webs but what about the females?? Do they have any physical signs or anything?? I know its a stupid question but its one thing I cant figure out........:confused::confused:

Thanks
Shaun.

Generally, when they are 2/3 of their adult size, they will be ready.
If you have her last molt on hand, you can check her spermathecae. If they are sclerotized (darkened, and fully formed), then she is ready.
