I can't tell from those photos. maybe @Casey K. or @Thistles can tell.

It's not a mature male though, no emboli or spurs see if you can get pics of the book lung area.

More pics...

Thank u Kormath! Still not entirely sure what type she is still... swaying towards Brachypelma Vagans :/ Shes very sweet & docile. Not shown any aggression, would say more nervy but always out on display if not sleeping in her hideyho.

could be a vagans could be sabulosum. need to see the book lungs area for vent sexing though.

Going with male, but closer straight-on pics of the furrow would be helpful. Pretty sure it's a male though. Pretty spider! The white tipping on the setae make me doubt vagans, but I'm not a NW specialist.

Looks female to me.

What is the leg span of this tarantula? I'm thinking it's not a Brachypelma anything. Looks more like G. iheringi to me. The pics you have taken are a bit difficult to tell sex with. I was leaning female but there appears to be a small "triangle" patch above the exuvium. Get a clear shot of the space between the top two book lungs and I can tell you if it's male or female.

 

[Casey K.]

I'm almost positive it's iheringi. Could be G. actaeon as well but they tend to get darker as they age. Iheringi keep the smoky black color and raspberry abdominal setae. From the ocular abdominal markings, I'm saying Grammastola for sure. Definitely not a Brachypelma. 90% on iheringi but my doubts are pulling me toward actaeon.

I'm going female but your be able to tell once she's moulted she's a good size so should be quite straightforward sexing her moult. Nice T

legspan is about 5/6 inches. She is fairly big.

Good thing about keeping Ts is they always surprise you don't matter how long you have been in the hobby a couple of times I thought that's definitely a female checked the moult turns out it's a male . What ever it is great looking T
