I can't wait to see the little one once he/she has emerged. I'm hoping for a girl but I will be keeping the spider either way. I will have pictures up once they come out of the egg. :)

When is it okay to sex the hatchlings? I don't want to do it too early if that would hurt them. I'm still a little new to popping. I can do it no problem with the ball pythons at work (who are already a month or two old) but this little one is literally 10 minutes out of the egg.

I do it right out of the egg. But if you're uncomfortable with popping you should wait. Really as long as you're gentle, I think youd be fine. Just go easy.

Just gave it a try and was really really gentle. Two little horns came up but they are not the pink/red-ish color I'm used to seeing with older males. Does this have to do with the fact they are fresh out of the egg? So, I think it is a boy. :confused:

Nope if you don't see the little red blood vessels at The base. Probably a girl. But I can't say for sure bc I dont know if you are actually fully popping them. Even if you don't fully get the hemipenes out you still should be able to see the Pink blood vessels. If you don't see the pink it's a female. Females will still have the spurs I believe they are called but they won't have The pink at The base.
