My Hapalopus sp. Colombia (Colombian Pumpkin Patch) molted a month or so ago and ever since I'd only seen it a couple times. I'd thrown a cricket in once a week or so and stupidly they would walk right into it's webbed den and never be seen again.
On Sunday I tossed a dubia in. Its running around created enough interest that it came out of it's den and in the process scared the heck out of me. First, because it came out lightning fast and from a side where I did not know it had a back door and second, because it was huge (apparently it had molted again). It was super leggy looking so I checked and sure enough I now have a MM.
There is a local place to me that has something I want so I am going to try and trade with them. If they don't want him I'll check back here for interest.
I don't see a sperm web, but it could be easily hidden in his den. Do I have to wait until he does that to send him off for breeding?
