[QUOTE="Sabeth, post: 28194, member: 545"] I'm going to guess female. It looks like a mature Rosie, and if it were male, it would have clubbed pedipalps. Also from the ventral view there seems to be a clear horizontal slit between the book lungs, another strong indicator of a female. Her abdomen is also round and globose, whereas a male's is usually narrower. Last but not least, her legs are fairly stout...the legs of a male tend to be longer and give the tarantula an overall "leggy" look. My guess is female. But as you said, it's true, the only way to be 100% sure is to examine the exuvium. [/QUOTE]
