Hey guys,

My first time owning a T, so I’m not 100% certain what I’m looking for on an adult male, as far as I’m aware it’s pedipalps ready for mating.

With that in mind can anyone more experienced weigh in on these images? I was sold Pharis (T, Cyriopagopus Lividus) as a juvenile yet he seems to already be an adult from the bulge in the Pedipalps?

Looks like a mature male. Is the spider grayish tan as opposed to blue?

You can still feed and enjoy taking care of him in the meantime. The majority of my males still eat with gusto! Feed but maybe not quite as often. Had some cool male T's.

You could always post him on this site, Arachnoboards, or "Spinder" (breeding group) on FB, for a breeding loan.

Yh, he’s my first T and finding out I’ve got maybe less than a year with him was kinda heartbreaking but you are right. I’m in the midst of trying to find a breeder as I said, I can’t let those emboli go to waste now can I?

Don't blame you a bit. Hard not to want to let them do their thing! Truly drives them.lol.
