Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ghost" data-source="post: 42629" data-attributes="member: 3461">As sym has already said your T has had it's ultimate molt and is now sexually mature,as far as trying to molt again goes not many would survive I've only heard of a few that have manged to molt again and survive after the ultimate molt.What happens once a male matures is he will build a sperm web and deposit sperm on it then he will go underneath it upside down to charge his pedipalps with sperm ready for mating this is what I suspect that you have seen rather than him trying to molt again.As far as how long he will live is hard to say but 6 months to a year is about avarage for a male once he matures.</blockquote>
