High Res Grammostola Rosea Molt, Male or Female?

[Canadian Tarantula]

Below are images of my Grammostola Rosea, I was wondering if anyone could help me determine if it is Male or Female. I have tried my best to provide quality images.

Also, this is my first time on the forum, and my first post. Hopefully I have done everything correctly.

Thanks for any help/advice

Hello

For someone to sex the tarantula you'd need a photo of the inner molt,therein the spermatheca lies or doesn't. Look at the photo below.

Well really as a beginner, it is very confusing for us to determine if our T's is F or M... And like myself, I am always wishing for a Female T's, so everytime I am looking on my T's while they are holding on their enclosure I am looking to their booklungs if it is wildely separated...

Another indication to determine if T's is male is their Tibial hooks... But you need to wait for them to be mature enough to see those...

First, I would like to thank everyone who has responded. Thank you for taking the time to help and educate the new enthusiasts.

When this “T” molted, it was my first molt ever. I had hoped to keep the molt well preserved to compare growth over time. In doing so, I made a dumb decision to glue the prosoma… and now I have learned that the molt is vital in determining gender of the tarantula.

Also, I don’t have a macro lens/ macro capability. So I apologize that the images are not very large or detailed. I have tried my best to make them as clear as possible.


Thanks again.
