| Well my male from mouth to end of mesasoma is about 9cm and my female is about the same. I'd assume they are mature but I was just wondering if there was a way to tell if they were mature. | |

| If the male has the long metasoma, my guess is he's mature.
If the female is roughly the same size as a mature male, my guess is she's mature.
I'd show my own photos for examples, but my server is currently out of commission. | |

| Sorry I made a mistake before. My male is huge and yes has very elongated tail - will post pics eventually.
My female looks at least one instar smaller possibly two.
I put them in a tank together hoping they would mate, but they seemed disinterested in each other. Whether this was a result of them being recently disturbed by being moved or the female being immature I don't know. | |

| Correct me if im wrong but sexual dimorphism (The elongated tail in ur case) only occur when it is matured So when u see urs with elongated tail = its matured | |

| But how can I find out whether my female is mature or not? It has a smaller mesasoma and a short metasoma but the chela are very similar in size. | |

| I had an adult female whose entire body was the same size as my mature male (minus the metasoma). | |
