Hi everyone

I am able to sex the following species positively from 4cm+ molts with microscope. can do smaller but then not 100% sure...
R20 for every spider sexed. If I make a mistake, I'll give you R30 back.

1 All Brachypelmas
2 Psalmopoeus cambridgei/irminia
3 Most pokies (Poecilotheria)
4 Grammostola
5 Stromatopelma calceatum
6 Theraposa blondi
7 Nhandu chromatus

I should be able to sex others, but would have to get some more info.
If you want me to sex, just bring the molts to me or post them in a small envelope. (Try and keep the molts moist, a little plastic back with some wet cotton will work perfectly)



My adress: PO Box 39958 Moreleta park 0044

Let me know if you are interested.

What more info would you need to sex other species? :S You are looking for the same 3 things regardless of species(E. olivacea and S. longibulbi being the exceptions where you only have to look for 2)

I wasn't sure if others may look different

Spermathecae shape will vary between species but the bursa copulatrix and uterus externus will pretty much look the same on any species.

Haha. Ah you guys can make a person laugh hey...m. Its not tooo difficult to sex a tarantula via a molt with a magnifying glass given they are 4 cm +. I recently sexed my 2 A.geniculata's at roughly 5 cm and they both came out........ Wait for it wait for it........................................................................... Still waiting huh ?




Female. Wohoooooo.made my week that much better.

Bwhaaahaaahaa Scarab.....i hear you....have quit smoking so ill have to sit and munch some "brownies" on that beach then. i seem to get my moults when they are dry ad day or 2 later abd then that middle section is already shriveled up......what do i do to recover the molt so that it is usable?

i was even considering a galss bottom tank so i can photograph the spiders from underneath to sex them in this way!!?? advice wil be apreciated!!
