Message: <blockquote data-quote="chrisAragogmalepinktoe" data-source="post: 225070" data-attributes="member: 42048">Hey there! I’m new to the hobby but I bought a spiderling (Pink Toe) and it appears to be male from sexing its molts. He has molted twice since buying him in Feb of 2023, I’ve been feeding him plenty. I can send most recent molt to verify sex, but I was just hoping to find someone with a female Pink Toe with an easy-going temperament (he’s very skittish and hasn’t reached the “must-escape-to-find-mate” age yet, most recent molt was just in June of 2023, with first I observed in April, but ones before that would’ve been tiny because he was only 2 inches long when I bought him in February). I thought I’d post early to find someone to coordinate a possible mating with, especially with the guarantee that when I do send him off <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />-(I will get a spiderling at some point, even if this mating is unsuccessful/he is eaten. I will probably wait until he molts at least one more time, maybe 2 more, so I’d be looking to send him off by the beginning of 2024 probably. I’ll pay shipping to you of course, once I see your female and we reach an agreement. Since males live so much shorter I don’t see a purpose in keeping him isolated for the rest of his life, and he is a beautiful specimen. I’ll email (many) photos upon request, thank you!</blockquote>
