I think most tarantulas seen wandering around outside are males. If you mean he rescued it from another environment then nevermind. If you are not sure if it's a mature male, you can google some pictures and see the hooks to look for on the legs. If he's a wandering male it's up to you if you want to keep him and give him a decent life but he won't live for more than a few months (probably) and may do better out in the wild trying to find a female. Just my two cents <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
