    French Guyana T. blondi M or F ?

    French Guyana T. blondi M or F ?

    This specimen is a male. Theraphosa species are easy to sex because the males have a clearly visible dark triangle of epiandrous fusillae. Females of this species often have a prominent gonoslit.

    Anatomy related question

    It's called the labium. It's part of the exoskeleton and helps form some of the structure for the bottom of the spider's mouth.

    Tarantula species that surprised you?

    N. coloratovillosus. Extremely food motivated, active, and defensive. Beautifully fluffy with pink setae around the edges. Always out looking for food. A bit cantankerous, but a great display animal!

    Psalmopoeus Cambridgei query

    The differences could be due to individual variation. They are not known to be sexually dimorphic before maturity. The most surefire way to sex them is to examine their molts.

    Do G. pulchra grow THAT slow?

    Psalmo's and Phantom egg sacks!

    Question Regarding Preservation of Deceased Tarantula

    Maybe for next time, you could try casting it in resin. My fiance has preserved hundreds of spiders, insects, and small fish this way. Some of the color fades over time, but it's a great way to display them, especially for smaller specimens.

    My Xenesthis immanis became sluggish and died.

    When they're in premolt they're more at risk for injuries. I agree that this was probably an internal bleed. Sorry for your loss :(

    Has anyone here ever had an accidental death happen by their hands?

    Nobody is perfect. We're all human, and everyone makes mistakes eventually. I know how much it hurts to lose a spider though. It's amazing how attached we get to them. Sorry for your loss :( .
