Sell, trade or loan him....males can grow your collection. I've bought many males cheap and flip them for way more in trade than I had originally invested. You can get around 40-50 slings on a breed loan if you find the right person.

You bought them cheap then sold them as adults or you traded them for more valuable Ts? I paid $100 for the T including shipping btw.

There are multiple ways to go. You could trade him now to a breeder for a couple/ few spiderlings.

The other way to do it is called a breeding loan. Once it matures you put an add out saying you want to do a breeding loan. A breeder takes your male and breeds it with his/ her female and you get half of the sac.

The other way would be to sell him outright when he matures.

Just like @Metalman2004 said...
I've done breeding loans for half the sack...rarely do I get him back, but sometimes.
I've traded for a couple juvies and slings of other species... I dont have to wait for the sac to hatch. Also if he gets munched its not my problem...:cool:
I've just sold out right also...depends on how bad the breeder wants a male on how much they will pay??
I'd pay a 100 for a mature male...not a unreasonable price.
Put a add in the forum classifieds and see what happens...;)

Definitely appreciate your input I'll think about those suggestions. I probably won't sell it yet as I've been wanting a T. stirmi for a long time and even though its a male its still good size.

How do I know when he matures if you don't mind me asking? Any easy telltale signs?

Oh snap!!! Sorry @Mvtt70. I would never second guess Arachnoclown. He’s a stud. I had no idea T. stirmi males got so big!!! I guess your penultimate molt may be a ways away.
