Hey Bushpilot I checked mail this Monday, but it wasn't there yet. I'm away till saturday, so I'll check Sunday.

Cool Carlo I'll also look for yours on Sunday, should be very easy cause its a large skin already. If you have a binoculars or magnifying glass you can easily sex it...

Thanks hoping for you that it's both girls

now you are talking!!!

@ Shaka

What proof can you give that your sexing is correct? R30 back is not a guarantee. If somebody post an exuvium in an envelope I don't think there will be much left after its going thru the post office.

I do macro photograthy and I've taken photos of a mite sitting on a 4mm spiders abdomen. I use a digital microscope and I get the proof of what the sex is.

I believe you can do it, but proof and the post office.

Well it's the first time Im trying this, Ive googled some tarantula species and how their exuviums should look for sexing. I've only sexed 4 of my juveniles to be honest, but I'm quite sure of what I see. I will try and get a picture through the microscope and post it here.

As for the post office handling, the molt should be in a sealed plastic bag with some water in it or even just a dry matchbox.

On the old website there was a thread making everything easy to understand.

This photo was done on a digital microscope and it is also proof that the tarantula I sold this weekend is a female.



Good luck.
