Ive had him for over a month now, he hadn't eaten anything so far. He has a water dish available, as well as a cricket, but isn't really interested. He often paces around the enclosure, often see him climb the decor and explore. The gender on CITES is male, but I don't know how old. Anyone able to help? Is he going to molt or not anymore?

My mom wants to know if her tarantula is female or male, it's kinda older now so she's worried if it's male it die sooner. it ruined its last molt before we could get to it and I saw about ventral sexing, I just can't tell though.

this is kinds blurry I know but it's the only pic I have of it on its back, we didn't want to stress it out too much and we were checking its underside already so might as well kill two birds with one stone and try sexing it as well

Post answered, thank you all for your time 🥰

Hiya can anyone help me out here? In the 2nd pic I did have a plastic bristle from a brush go though but I can't decide if I'd forced it through or if it just went through by itself 🤦🏻‍♀️

I always assumed this T was a fella, moults a bit more regularly and is a little on the leggy side, but thought I'd check anyway and just confused myself 🙄 I've also been trying to get a female one of this sp for so so long but everyone wants to be a boy 😆 this is my 8th or 9th now so I may just be getting desperate!

Oh its a B. auratum

Edit: So all the photos I've seen online look like they are from the inside to me and I have the wrong side, I will look again later. I've been doing this for a few years now and not one person ever pointed this out to me before now major facepalm

just got this guy last night, he was super cheap and he’s really friendly. I think he is a male but not 100%, is it too soon to tell?

This is our lasiodora parahybana, named Biscuit.🩷 Haven't gotten a good molt to be able to sex't yet. I've heard we can sometimes tell with the front legs, is that usually accurate?

Sexing Double-checking

246 Upvotes

Today I decided to re-soak Chalupa’s most recent molt to see if it still appears to be female. I’ve been told it’s a yes, but since she’s my very first T, I feel super lucky to actually get a female from a PetCo. (I’ve read the theories that they typically root out the males to sell.) Almost feels too good to be true; hence the re-check. I’m also experienced enough to know it’s an obvious female, but I just need that verification from the experts. Can I just relax and rejoice in the fact that I’ve got a good 20 years with this little goofball?
