My Caribena versicolor, unsexed but probably a female!

[exo.kappa]

Hi everyone,

here is my unsexed Caribena versicolor, I got this from a friend that never checked the molts... but looking to the size it seems a female! My friend took it 2 years ago as a Sling.

I did a video of the last rehouse, I really like the corkbark put in this way.. but I hope that he/she start using the hole.. is it always around the walls

In the future it would be nice to try to breed her (if I can confirm that is a female in the next molt...)

Welcome to the forum. I have a few Avics set up with tubes, they rarely use them in my experience. Psalmopoeus and Poecilotheria will, however. For your C versicolor tank, I would recommend adding more foliage (read anchor points) up top and she will likely setup a web-hammock contraption, males don't "set up shop" like females do, again in my experience.

You can postulate female based on its size (at a quick glance per your pic) but as you know, a molt will confirm

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome!

We will see in the future, before was in another enclosure and did a den inside an half corkbark on the wall.. but probably I will add some more plants, because I see the T always static on the wall

Welcome to the group.
Here's my fat male...

and my slender female...

a molt is the only reliable way to sex versicolor.

Thanks for all the messages, let's hope the next molt will be not destroyed the next time!

In the meanwhile I bought a new plant and added to the enclosure
