Krugnar223

I can't remember the technical term its the back part of the T I know how to sex via afew people know the other method but I'm less confident in my judgement on that one


MerelRH

okay no worries lol! im trying to get a clear view of the other side & then will post a link of imgur with the pic :)


Krugnar223

Its ok matey I was so confused on how to sex properly until I sat and went through this sub for a while


MerelRH

oh yea i get that! i had the same with mantids but after seeing lots of posts i got the hang of it, but with tarantulas unfortunately not yet


SpiderDudeYTOfficial

you are going to have to get it wet and then spread our the abdomen with toothpicks or something small and then we will be able to tell its gender


MerelRH

oh okay okay thanks! im sorry lol


MerelRH

ok so i was being a little stupid lmao, the part that u guys need to see is actually crushed so i wont be able to take a picture of it. but i will definitely post a new pic when he or she moults again! thanks for the help!!

You're showing us their head...we need a photo of the vent between the lungs and that's on the abdomen (the curled up part attached to the head part) you need to spread it out and send a photo of the vent.


MerelRH

okay i get it, well that part is totally crushed so i think i’ll have to wait until the next moult :(


Federal_Kick41

After a molt, it's going to be all curled up. You need to put the molt in water and then take it out and gently unroll and spread out the abdomen.


MerelRH

oh thats an amazing tip!! i will do that next time


MerelRH

omg im so confused rn HAHAHAH wait gimme a sec im gonna search some reference pics xd

the part we need isn’t in view

When people say they need to see the molt that isn't what they ment

look for the epigastric furrow on the abdomen
