Do males of this species die earlier than females? I'd read that male tarantulas native to my area die earlier than the females due to the hooks on their forelimbs (used for mating at sexual maturity) that interrupt their ability to extricate themselves from the old skin during molting.
Edit: I guess this is common to all tarantulas.... :(
