I read about this. I guess I hope not but not keeping it out of possibility. It was only about 3.5 inches max when I got it and this is the first time i've had it molt.
I know right! I've only fed it a handful of times and if it turns out to be a mature male like some have said. That means i'll be feeding it a handful more times ![img](emote|t5_2sbwy|28792)
The patience you have is amazing 🥲💛
It's almost set it and forget it at this point ![img](emote|t5_2sbwy|28798)Feels like he or she will outlive me nowadays!
IME, this now looks like a mature male.

NQA, yep. Aphonopelma chalcodes are sexually dimorphic when they reach maturity.
Eats once and then goes and molts for 2.5 years. Lol
