Depends on sp! anything from 4 months to 2 years!

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us...

Mature males last until they are dead...

If you have the opportunity, keep on trying him with females. One female will eventually eat him, usually the last one he will mate with... ever.

Most people are like clouds. The sun comes out when they f*ck off...

lol...

on a side note, and sorry to jump in the thread, but when do you know when your tarantula is actually an adult? I could work on years for the different species or maybe size, but is there another way to tell for sure?

the universe and everything :)

Mature males develop bulbous pedipalps, in some (most) species also Tibial Hooks/Spurs/Apophysis. In some species, sexual dimorphism (obvious physical difference and outward appearance) clearly separates males from females.

In mature females, the spermathecae(capsules storing sperm) would sclerotise(harden) and turn dark Amber in color, specifically around the edges.
