[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 76994, member: 4086"] It basically looks like an upside down u or v. In sub adults and adult males over 3-4 inches or so, it becomes prominent. On smaller spiders, your ventral guess is as good as mine :) ps. I'm horrible at vent sexing, there are much better people here to ask. Check out sexing threads on this forum. Get a clean, fresh molt, get a close up of the two pairs of booklungs, on the inside of the abdomen, focusing on the top pair, and if the spider is over three inches I can most likely tell you what gender it is. As I said though, there are people on this forum who seem to vent sex pretty accurately, so if you're impatient, post a close up, focused shot of the underside of the T, and someone can probably help you.
