So, I got a P. regalis that was about 1.5in back in August of last year. It is now somewhere in the neighborhood of 5in. When younger it was more of a dark gray and white but for some time now it has been more like shades of tan. Anyway, I was wondering, how long does it typically take for males to mature? I ask because last night I kept hearing this kind of rapid ticking noise that kept repeating at sporadic intervals and I finally caught the regalis drumming its pedipalps on that styrofoam rock background (Exo terra tank). Also, to my untrained eye, I'd say the palp tips look fat. I know males will do this to entice females to come out and "play" but I have no other P. regalis, just a P. rufilata of about the same size in the next tank. Any ideas as to what's going on here?
Thanks for any suggestions,
