Yeah, unfortunately its a gamble.
Some people buy multiples in the hopes of getting a female. ( i have done that but it will be quite a while before i will be able to know.)
I have also spent more money and bought a sexed female from a reputable breeder/dealer/ seller.
Either way, but at least with the last option you will get a female ( from a reputable breeder/dealer)
Oh, what species is that?

Thanks for confirming
Next time I'll definitely pay more go vrh a female and from a reputable seller as well. Now I'm stuck with 3 males. And one of them was bought as female. Just sucks. Its a B Emilia

Pretty easy to sex at 3" with most species.

Sorry to hear that. It can be disappointing, although for me my males are interesting in that i can watch them mature, which i have not seen yet.
You may be able to sell the males now or once in maturity.

That sucks to be stuck with a male when purchasing a female. I would recommend not buying anything over two inches unsexed if your only wanting a female.
I prefer males, I actually like the look of them more then alot of females. I have found them actually to be more profitable. I've split multiple sacks from one male. 3 sacks in my record so far, 870 slings total (Poecilotheria ornata). 2600+ slings for one male male Pokie to father is pretty cool.
