Hi there...
I was wondering when do the males change their color and do they all change to the ugly dull gray??
I have one and its about 8 cm and still pitch black...... and cant sex it because it destroys its molt every time...
Exactly the same as your P. cambrdgei Male.
They change color(Sexual dimorphism) when they mature into a mature male.
Males can start to mature after 18 months or sooner.
Very ruff thumb suck but males can mature from 12cm and up, but not a good way to work it out.

All P. irminia mature males have the same look to them once they have matured.
on its penultimate molt the male will already seem a bit more grey than black, that's a rule of thumb I use to know if my males are gonna mature on the next molt or not.
I don't know if you guys may have notice in previous posts I commented on, but I have a P. Irminia female whom I am sure is possessed by the devil! I am much more scared of her than any other pet I have ever kept. Even been tagged thrice by it. She is just plain and simple MEAN and evil. Any of you have a P. Irminia that seems "a bit too much'? I handle all my T's, but i steer clear of her, I even put off rehousing her for a day, just to get the nerves right!
