Ooh, congratulations! I've kept a T in the past- just a California native one, & only for about 6 mos. I'm no expert- I was told mine was a female based on the large abdomen ("opisthosoma") but I'm not sure that's an accurate way to tell. I like the black & white markings on yours.
This says the best way to tell is from a shed, so it might be a while before you find out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf5SujzLmQc
