While I was hoping for my Arizona Blonde to molt and reveal its sex, my Chaco Golden Knee molted and I now have confirmation ITS A GIRL! This article was very helpful

I finally was able to get better pictures of my Arizona Blonde. I purchased another enclosure like the one I have for my Chaco Golden Knee. Hoping someone can sex it.

What would you say from looking at my Arizona Blonde? Hoping for a female. Aren't we all? This is a wild caught specimen at my friend's house here in Arizona, SE of Phoenix. It was in a cave live valve enclosure. It had been there for some time since there was a molt in the enclosure.

I used to live in Walnut Creek. Northgate 81'. I just added a wild caught Arizona Blonde to my Chaco Golden Knee female. I live in AZ SE of Phoenix.

I can't wait until it molts again.

That is great news. The coloring looks more like a female, you agree? Males seem much darker all around.

Wild caught Arizona blonde M or F. I was told you can get a good idea from their coloring. I have not been able to get a clear picture of its belly yet, Any idea?

Strange, I removed the web barrier from its cave and there WAS another Molt. What the heck? Do I just have a healthy growing Tarantula or what? June 21st molt and then August 4th another molt. Does the molt frequency relate to a Female vs Male?

I hope so. From my attached pics are you able to tell if it is a female? That is what I am hoping for.

In Jan of 2022 I purchased a small Chaco Golden knee that still had a recent molt in its case in March. It was acting "normal" and then went into its hide and sealed it up with webbing. It stayed there for a few weeks. I never saw it venture out. I made sure it had water and sure enough it was...
