Unfortunately, the molt still hasn’t come off. I’ve been using a soft small paint brush with warm water and gently stroking the area. I haven’t gotten it read on some posts, not here, but they say as a last resort I may have to use this same method but with the dish soap/water, like how you soak...

Thank you for the feedback. It’s much appreciated.

Hey All! I need your help. My T. Stirmi molted last night and I noticed this morning her molt was still attached to her fangs. I tried to see if I could gently pull it but it’s really on there. So, all I know to do is spray the enclosure, and I misted her a little and she went to her water bowl...

I’m really hoping my T. Stirmi is female also.

Yep! I see this flap forming as well. I’m going with a girl

She’s around 2.5 to 3 inches

Thank you. :) She’s skittish right now. I’m hoping as she matures she will calm down a bit.

I have a B. Emilia female. They are such a beautiful species. Her name is Carmen.

Going out on a limb here and say this is female. What do you all think?

Just some pics to share of my new family members. P. Green Gold Carapace P. Dominican Purple P. Victori

Just wait it gets worse. LOL!! I started with one and now I’m up to 65 and probably won’t stop here.

You would need to soak it in water and a drop of dish soap. This will help hydrate the molt so you can open up the abdomen part up. With that size you may be able to see with the naked eye wether it has the spermatheca (flap).

Just from my experience, it’s hard to tell, for sure, based on the outside appearance. The best method is to wait for a molt and sex it under a microscope. But based on its shape and structure, it very well could be female. I’m curious to hear what others think.

Any suggestions on my P. Atrichomatus?

Hoping you experienced keepers can help me figure out if my P. Irminia is male or female. It molted last night and here’s the best pic I could get. Please tell me what you think.
