Please sex my B. Boehmei

[Gavin van den Berg]

My B. Boehmei recently motled and I was lucky enough to get to the molt before it could destroy it (like all previous molts).

I'm very new to trying to sex a T via its exuvia, so this is my first attempt. Please let me know if I'm focusing on the correct area and also, if possible, if I am correct in assuming my T is a female.

Hello Gavin
Coincidentally my Female Boehmei molted two days ago,yes you have a female according to that photo. I have decided to start doing something else as of recently,I am going to picture log all my molts concerning female specimens thus having a spermatheca database. This will also help to ensure I have the correct specimen if I want to breed it,I will obviously use online examples as well to ensure I start with the database correctly. When I am home I will try and photograph my Boehmei molt,maybe compare to yours.

That is excellent news Martin, thank you.

Once my other T's molt I will post some pics on here as well. Hopefully it could help you with the database you are going to do.

on a side note... I probably have to think of a new name for MacGyver now... Seeing as he is a she. haha
