My C.minax juz molted 4 days ago n i got a picture of it as i rehouse it. Does this look male? Becuz male usually has a more slim n leggy body shape. However, this T molted juz after 37days of its previous molt which i consider to be very fast grow(makes me feel like it might be male since male grow faster,however i did power feed it every 3 day with a superworm).It did not has the boxy glove pedipalp of mature male. It also only stop eating for 1 week before it molt and does not show any sign of premolt at all. I wanted to know if it would matured as a male or not so that i can prepare for selling or loaning it.

There's no way to tell if a tarantula is male/female with a dorsal view unless it is a sexually dimorphic species. If you could take a clear ventral picture and post it we may be able to help you out.
