Help telling sex

[rozesrred]

I have had her/him for just a week now. I was told to young to tell. I'm aware might have to wait until molt but was just wondering if any of you could tell anything. Also this is what it was brought home in and now settled in to it's true enclosure.

There's webbing that blocks the area that needs to be seen. Also, which species is it?

Avicularia avicularia, I will try and get some better pictures and post them.

Here are a few others not sure if they are any better.

Actually, I was so focused on the epigastric furrow, I overlooked the pedipalps. You have yourself a mature male and an unreliable salesperson.

The lack of an epigastric furrow*

Looks like an immature male. need to be up close to the genital region to see.

but i do think I see some epiandrous fusillae as a dark patch.

That’s not a palpal bulb visible on the left pedipalp?

Its right pedipalp.

the palps would have a club-like look to them, the emboli will be visible. also, mature male avics are WAAAAAAAY leggy. really lanky with spindly limbs

I got him at an expo and wasn't given any info actually. The giant amazon pink toe was written on the top of the carrier and that's it. I did ask about size she said would probably get a little bigger and to young to tell sex.

If it says giant Amazon pinktoe, more than likely its an Avicularia metallica or what we now call Avicularia M6. Common names are so bad to use nowadays because so many species have the same or similar common names. It's very difficult to distinguish them. At least we know it's an Avicularia "something" by the looks of it.

I have a MM A. avicularia. I guess I'm just seeing something that isn't there.
