Mature male P. regalis "Gonzo"

...are you sure?

Impressive

I'm serious, that looks nothing like a mature male. Post pics of it from a few angles, including ventral and pics of the palps.

Thanks Thisles. I will in the future. He was molt confirmed by me and a breeder. I’ll keep you posted.

@WolfSpider Ok, so if he was molt-confirmed he may be male, but he still doesn't look "mature." There is a significant color change when males have their final molt.

Thisles: Will he need a final molt to be mature? I thought a penultimate molt would do it. He is 6.5 inches DLS.

@WolfSpider Ah, yeah, they only mature at their ultimate molt. He doesn't get the equipment until then. If you look at his pedipalps now they will look like his toes. After his final molt, they'll change into little bulbs that he uses to inseminate females.

Thanks Buddy!!

@WolfSpider No problem! You have some more time with your little man
