Subfusca High Land ventral sex

26-02-13, 05:43 AM

Please give me you opinions on the sex of my 9cm Poecilotheria subfusca. Attached are 2 ventral pics. The zigzag pattern on dorsal side of the abdomen appears grey. I have another subfusca at the same size, ventrally it looks the same but the pattern on the dorsal abdomen is black.

The only sure way is to sex the moult. Here is Craigs link.

It's old, you've all seen it before but just for Stuart so he can link to the BTS web site now. The only real accurate way to sex a tarantula is by examining the epigynal area located between the anterior book lungs of the tarantulas shed skin but to do this you must first know what you are looking for. http://i53.photobucket
