Brachypelma smithi

[Ratmosphere]

Can you tell if this tarantula is male or female?

Need better lighting.

a little crisper pic would be helpful, but im gonna guess a female here @Ratmosphere . My male's book lungs r a little straighter across than that one with a slight "U" shape at the furrow. Im no expert, but thats my 2 cents.

 

[Ratmosphere]

Is this picture any better?

 

[leaveittoweaver]

I would say female.

 

[Entity]

yeah looks like a female to me bud. confirm next molt though.

 

[Ratmosphere]

People on different sites are saying it's a male. Who should I believe?

 

[Meludox]

Neither, the only way to confirm it is via molt.

agreed! u wont know for sure until a molt.
