Orphnaecus philippinus – Philippine Tangerine Question

[BladeGypsy]

What is the general lifespan for a Orphnaecus philippinus – Philippine Tangerine tarantula (for both male and female)?
What would the approx. age of one be that is currently at about a 2.75'' legspan?
Thank you for your time.

Im not sure that species has been in the hobby long enough to tell. My guess is females are in the 10 to 20 range.

Tom Moran has a husbandry video on youtube.

Thank you for the reply. And, indeed, I have watched Tom’s videos on this species. But as far as I saw/can recall, even Tom didn't specify lifespan.
I picked one up yesterday- my first OW.

I got mine male as a sling about 18 months ago, and he hooked out on me his last molt. So, males are in the quick range for maturation. He matured in December and is still going strong, making sperm webs, roaming, and eating, but I have noticed him appearing a little bit “worn” over the past couple weeks.
