Time for a game!!! Sex Boanerges G. pulchra :-)

[Boanerges]

So one of my G. Pulchra's molted last night and I used to play a game here where I had people guess the sex of the tarantula. The fun part is even if you don't know the sex you have a 50/50 shot at guessing it and I will show you why it is the gender that it is. So this game is for everyone!!! You don't win nothing but it is fun to play The only rule is if you REALLY know what you are looking at you don't ruin it for everyone else and tell them why you know what it is. I will explain to everyone once the game is over. Here we go:

This is the G. Pulchra a couple weeks or so ago before the molt:


This is the pic of the G. pulchra after the molt. It measured 2 1/4" from front leg to back leg on the opposite side.


Here is pic number one of the molt under the microscope:


Pic number 2 of the molt under the microscope, a closer shot:

I have absolutely no idea, but like you said, it is just a game. I am going to guess female on this one.

Total stab in the dark since I know diddly about spiders...


Female >.>

[Boanerges]

Yup, it is only a game so thank you to all who have guessed and will just guess on the answer

I was going to say female. I have no clue what I am looking for but...

So the third picture under the microscope is a male? It look totally different from the first two picture. In your statement above "looking to be female" are you telling us it is or are you not sure? At what age can you tell? Or is it after how many times they have molted? Then you can tell. That was pretty interesting.
