    Male or female?

    This is my one and only T. It’s a brachypelma smithi. I’ve had it since it was about 3/4” across. It’s about 3” now and it recently molted so I was wondering if anyone can tell yet whether it’s a male or female.

    The pic isn't very clear so I'm not certain, but it appears to be female. I feel like I can just barely make out the little flap with bulb-shaped bulges on either side.

    Edit: here is a link with some nice clear pictures that might be helpful to see what you are looking for. http://johnbokma.com/articles/arachn...ing-molts.html
