T. albopilosum molt sexing

[Tarantulex]

Hi everyone,

Today I get to sex my very first molt and I barely got it out intact! To be honest, I'm not quite sure if what I'm looking at is spermatheca or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah it's female. This is always worth a read - https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/how-to-sex-your-tarantula.281/

Thank you! I was trying to compare this molt to some online photos but they seemed to look quite different than my photo hence my hesitation. Not sure if it's because the molts I found online were bigger leading to more pronounced spermatheca, but all in all happy to have a female.

That that to the bank. Plessey is the master at exuvium sexing.

I'm afraid I'm only a master when it comes to bating.

I concur. Female. as she grows it will be more pronounced.
