Hey, I have a G.Rosea and I wonder how I can see if it's a male or a female?
I've seen that people hold them upsidedown to see which sex it is, but you cant
even touch my spider without it starts to stand in attacking position.
And it only have moulted one time since I had it and the moult was kinda broken
so I cant see on the moult either.. So how do I do? Thankful for answer, and im sorry
for my bad english.
I also uploaded a picture of my beautiful G.Rosea :)

the only 100% sure way is with a molt. If you can take a pic of its underside when it's on the glass we can make an educated guess.

That is a beautiful Rose Hair!! She looks so healthy and very happy :) mine is pretty nasty too, I rescued her from petsmart in very bad conditions :/ she is fully matured but has old injuries on her legs. But she is in good hands now with me!

when your tarantula molts again take pics and look for presence or absence of spermathicae. you can only be 100 % sure on sex via the molt :)
