[QUOTE="Phil, post: 173351, member: 4151"] Sorry to hear about your spider. Please don't be disheartened. Unfortunately once a male matures, his clock is ticking and the best he can hope for in the months they have left is to either a) find a lady spider to play with or b) see their days out in comfort and being cared for. Personally, I would always go for option a) as captive breeding keeps the genus available for others and reduces the need for removing livestock from their natural habitat. But b) is just as acceptable especially when he has been a loved pet for so long and so the thought of not seeing him again and learning of his demise is not always palatable. RIP little fella.
