[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 113539, member: 4086"] How can a tarantula that is only an inch and a half be sexed as female? I've seen the sexing size get smaller and smaller for dealers. I can sex one around three inches because its starting to mature, and I do use a decent usb microscope. What do you look for at 1.5"? Is it reliable? I've had three sexed females turn out male, all of them sexed at at least 2.5" by people who are thought of as reliable in the hobby. I'm in no way bashing them, lets get that clear. Nor will I name any names. One was my albopilosum(honduran), that was a sexed female freebie ..supposed to be anyway. But thats a freebie right? The other was my gbb, and now I'm suspecting I need to check my P metallica when she molts. Two are from the same transaction, with a guy I've bought alot of spiders from. Sorry for the rambling, but can they be sexed reliably that small? How? [/QUOTE]
