If it IS a male, it's got at least one molt left, there's no tibial hooks and his pedipalps aren't bulbous. It's quite possible it's a leggy female, but I don't think so, at all. 13 months old...leggy and big...that screams male. My little 2 inch female is a very slow grower. She's around the same age as your male.... I'd say the next molt will tell you for sure. I hate guessing though, some of these spiders can make a fool of me. Sexing by way of the molt is the best way to do it. But guessing, I'd say I'm 95% sure its a male fixing to hook out.</p></blockquote><p></p>
