    Once a male matures their days are numbered, usually not living past a year.

    Oh damn

    Did he attempt to molt one more time after it matured?

    I've read that after their "ulti-molt", the chances of surviving another molt are in the single digit percentile. The most common thing that happens are the pedipalps getting stuck.

    No he never tried to molt after maturing and there are slim chances of that happening anyway.

    Didn't post these but I took them late last night when the critters were out -

    Hoping she'll molt soon seeing as how she refused food last Thursday; she's molted only once in the last 5 months -

    Then there's Mini Me who's molted 4 times already in the same time span. He was pretty pissed at me for snapping pics -

    Damn! RIP Aphonopelma seemani. Found it in what looked like a mostly normal position (as opposed to the death curl) but it's not moving at all when prodded. I soaked the substrate around it with the hopes that it might revive but I doubt it since it was unresponsive to the prodding. Posting my favorite pic of that T one last time.

    The tarantula gods giveth and taketh away. Though I did lose 2 of my Ts in the past few weeks, at least I was finally able to feed my single-fanged Avicularia for the first time since getting it.
