Confirmed M. mesomelas female and new P. ornata female
Well I confirmed my Megaphobema mesomelas to be a definite female with her last molt (have pictures of the molt and such). I am pretty excited about that because they are one of my all time absolute favorite tarantulas!!!!
I also got a new T in today. A 4" confirmed female Poecilotheria ornata. She came from TarantulaHomes.com (they make amazing T enclosures).
Unfortunately my stupid computer is not working (possible graphics card) so I can not post pics right now. I have been posting here from my phone. I do have pics of everything though and when I get my computer fixed I will update this thread. Thanks for looking and sorry there are no pics to look at right now :(

I hope my luck is as good as yours LOL share the wealth ;)
Congrats on your new addition! Looking forward to the pictures :D
Lol :rofl: Well I did pay for the ornata as a confirmed female :D My OBT that I suspect is female just molted but I can't get to the molt without completely destroying the web. So that one is still unsexed unless it brings the molt out for me by chance :rolleyes:

Thanks!! Yeah, STUPID computers!!!! I will probably have more new T's before my computer gets fixed. A Poecilotheria metallica (the one I have now I am like 99.9% sure is male) and a Poecilotheria rufilata will be coming in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Alexa!!! I love the mesomelas!! Kind of like a better version of a Brachypelma Smithi IMO. They are eaisly in my top 3 favorite T's. My Megaphobema robustum I am pretty sure is male but between that and the mesomelas I am VERY glad my mesomelas is female!!!

Thanks!!! It's very hard to see the flaps in my pics some times because my camera is not the greatest and a lot of times the tarantula is not that big so neither is the goods if you know what I mean. I think the mesomelas females molt measured in at 2 1/4" (have a pic of molt next to a tape measure) so this one will be hard to see also but you can definitely see it once you start to know what your looking for :gj:

Hey, me too :banana: This is going to be my 4th P. Metallica sling!!! The last 3 (I only have one now though) have turned out to be male. Hopefully I have better luck with this one but I doubt it - lol
