[QUOTE="Colorado Ts, post: 172426, member: 30045"] In general, males will have much shorter lifespans than the females. Males tend to mature quicker than females from the same egg sac, natures way of limiting inbreeding within the species. Megaphobema - ~15 to 20 years for females Lasiodora - 12 to 15 years for females Nhandu - 10 to 20 years for females Phormictopus - Not sure, Breeders tell me that females can live to be ~20 years Enjoy the day.
