My poecilotheria metallica moulted today and has just matured into a male I also have a 5th instar bout 4 and half inches p metallica. Will the male live long enough for my other one to mature need this one to be female I was hoping it was the other way round but it wasn't to be. So now I got a fresh male and no female to attempt to breed what should I do

Doubt the smaller one will mature in time for you to use the same mature male. Best to either sell him off or else send him on a breeding loan. Might be worth while selling hin though and keeping the money one side to buy a mature male if the younger one turns out female and matures.
