Just to confirm, this is a male right?
So tired of buying a t as unsexed and they all turn out to be male.
Last time I buy "unsexed"

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?

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.
