    Your P.fasciata looks like it's female from the abdoman pattern. however this method is unreliable

      I had Leon Lane look at it when i bought it from Kettering, and his first opinion was that it was male.
      I guess i'll have to wait and see what it is once it moults. I guess i can just look inside the cast same as i did for my chile?

      Here is a ventral picture if anyone can sex it better from that?

          I'm gonna wait until it moults for a definate sex. There's no way i can hold it to sex it externally like i did with the other two spids. Hopefully a moult wont be too far away.

                  I believe its called urticating right. Now thats nice as the latin name for the stinging nettle is Urtica!

                    yup, and they don't half itch. She's easily calm enough to handle now, but still likes to think that anything entering her tank is food. Today she attacked some vermiculite that fell onto the floor, and a pair of tweezers :P

                        Nah, she's lovely. Does like to pounce on the water dish when i fill it :P But as long as you make it clear you're not food, then she's safe to handle.
