How do you know it's a female?

Brachypelma is dead?
- Thread starter tomervayn

That’s what he said when I bought her, that’s “she’s one year old.”
I assume that if it was male it would say “he’s one year old”?
How do you check if it’s female or male?

I was wrong, he said my tarantula is Chilean rose
Which I checked on google… gave me this

So that's a totally different genus to Brachypelma/Tliltocatl. There are different colour forms of the Grammostola Rosea, too so I'd ask who you got it from if they know this information. You would check there moult to sex it, although Grammostola are notoriously hard to sex when there small unless you have a good macro lens or a microscope. You can try and get a photo of the underside of the abdomen focusing between the top set of book lungs this is called ventral sexing but is not always 100% accurate.

Forgot to say last night. That is one of the slowest growing Tarantulas there is. When it gets a bit larger it will go months being buried away not eating in premoult. You could always get another Tarantula. One for that enclosure that is going to be empty. You could put another terrestrial in it and bank the substrate right up at the back, I'd get an arboreal though some sort of Avicularia, Caribena or Ybyrapora are good begginer arboreal (as long as the setup is correct) or the more advanced Psalmopoeus or Tapinauchenius these new worlds lack urticating hairs so they are that bit more flighty than the usual and advised as a great starter for getting into old world Tarantulas because of Thier speed. My favourite from the Avics and such is the Avicularia Braunshauseni there pretty rare though, I only have the Avicularia Juruensis M2 the best looking are by far the Caribena Versicolour and the Ybyrapora Diversipes though. And for the faster new world arboreal my Favourite it the Psalmopoeus Cambridgei, though the Psalmopoeus Irminia looks amazing.
If you do decide to fill it with something we will help you out as much as possible on setup and that, do that before buying the spider, also to usilise the enclosure you already have you're going to want to buy a large juvenile or Sub adult for the size.
This is something I was wondering since on my last night research I heard from a person she was 14 months buried in premolt.
This is not something I would imagine when I got her but I do want to find another to find which I’m not sure where to order, do you guys have any suggestions of where to get a something to start with?

Check and see if www.spidersworld.eu deliver to you there the only ones I can think of that ship across borders. I use thespidershop.co.uk and portsmouthtarantulas.co.uk you could contact them and see if they can ship although I'd imagine it's going to cost a bit for shipping. You could try searching Google for Tarantula breeders or vendors near you, Facebook is good for this too although I wouldn't recommend listening to most of the advice, come back here for that. If you're going for an arboreal think of what type you would like 1st as in an easy going avic type that is that little bit harder to care for Vs the pretty hardy but faster Psalmopoeus type.
portsmouthtarantulas.co.uk I checked this site it looks good and cheap but I didn’t see any kind of slings of the kinds you suggested to me. Can you try see if you see any sling there that would be nice and fast to grow?

Did you check to see if they deliver to you? Are you in Israel now or is that just you're nationality.
I just tried to make an order on both websites and they do not ship here unfortunately
That will be incredible hard to get but I might have idea since I know a shop that brings snakes, he might be able to get me a tarantula where ever he’s getting his stuff from, I just have to speak with him because he doesn’t have any T’s in his shop or know anything about them

Did you try www.spidersworld.eu too I'm sure there is Poland but they ship to the UK so they might ship you're way.

For this you are best looking at the Psalmopoeus genus If you're planning on putting it straight in that big enclosure I would get a juvenile rather than a sling, these as slings will burrow a bit but because they are such fast growers there usually available in juvenile size most places.

If he has an import license there are a few US places that will ship definitely like fear not Tarantulas and urban tarantulas. טרנטולה פיט - עכבישי ענק that Facebook group supposedly sells Tarantulas in Israel look for a Psalmopoeus Cambridgei that would be ideal for you're tank, if you can get a juvenile around 7/8cm leg span you could house it in there and it would do it for the rest of its life.
Psalmopoeus irminia I found someone selling this one 8 years old 2cm ,
What about this one?

You mean 8 weeks old at that size. This would be great they are fast growers and will grow into it, they are also the best looking Psalmopoeus if you ask me with the jet black and bright orange colour.

Completely upto you bud these are great spiders too for beginners and look amazing but slow growing. Just like you're G rosea. You could get both this will live in a smaller container for a while anyway.
8months it says sorry**
I have sent messages I’ll update as soon as I get responses
