Epiandrous fussilae gendering of Theraphosidae is far from accurate, some people say that it is accurate in the genus Poecilotheria but i am yet to be convinced. also saying that the spider is a leggy individual is not a factor to ascertain gender. have you had this spider moult in your care as yet?

Well Joel,
I'm almost certain its Sericopelma rubronitens. The pics of them I've seen are identical to your specimen.

There are likely things Ray is not comfortable commenting on publicly at this time, until work gets published.

Ask the owners of the pics how then know it's S. rubronitens. Most will probably say that's what they bought it as. It is common to see the OP's spider sold as such... BUT, this doesn't mean they've actually been ID'd reliably as that species.

Mean time i sugest you try him with any of the red and black Sericopelma sp sold as S. rubronitens.
He is one of the 3 Panamanian species
