Hello!
I have a really weird one..
I have a P.Regalis which is by numerous criteria and opinions a male. I've posted pics of the molt here and some people agreed that it was in fact a male.. The trouble with this is its age and size.. I've had this Regalis for 4 years now, and I got it when it was about 2".. So it is I'd say around 5 years old. Im not a fan of powerfeeding so it is growing slowly. I've been giving it one dubia roach per week for as long as I can remember, so it molts roughly only once a year or maybe once every 8 months. It now has a legspan of 6" and if it is a male it is still not mature.. From my experience males grow faster and mature in at least 3 years.. and this one is still not mature and is around 5 years old..
What gives?!
