[SIZE="2"] [color="Navy"]This is a good example of population sexing. I haven't had a good molt from either of them and especially on the female an inexperienced person could get it wrong. When you put them side by side it's very hard to mistake them. ][/SIZE]

TrevP wrote: That will be a long while coming. The 200 I do have roughly half are crap. Focus was wrong, too little or too much lighting. On top of that some of the left overs are duplicates. Then to top that off I have ventral shots, but no sex to tie it to (ie not confirmed by a molt). It would not be beneficial to go on a limb and say the one B. boehmei ventral shot I have is female and have that be wrong or the H. minax "sexed female" even though it came from a very reputable source mistakes can happen.
Not to mention the A. genic and A. seemani comparisons I put up are fairly useless as they are mature males which look entirely different than sub adults.
I'm not trying to burst anyones bubble, and I am working on it, it's just going to take some time to get it all together with crisp, clear, big photos so that all the detail shows. Not to mention I'm working with a 5 MP point a shoot camera.
And if all that wasn't enough I'm still itchy from last weekend. I even rubbed 2 fingers raw in my sleep it itched that bad.
Note to self: Lasiodora difficillis, A. geniculata, and all the Brachys combined do not make for a good hairing experience.
Great work. Might I suggest getting some surgical gloves at the drug store? It will make things a lot more comfortable!

I don't know if this belongs on this thread. If not please feel free to move or to complain! I have a B.smithi that I cannot figure the gender on ventrally. But a recent molt seems to indicate male. Anyone more experienced, can you please confirm? This is the 4th molt in my care.
this photo taken before last molt. about 2 inches(?) legspan

Thanks, Rhys. As I suspected. I guess I will have to re-read this whole thread to learn how to do ventral sexing.
