[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 191825, member: 3872"] This is what G pulchra spermatheca looks like[ATTACH type="full" alt="100_7801.jpg"]54870[/ATTACH] [URL unfurl="true"]https://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g78/wraithspirit/100_7801.jpg[/URL] Sometimes when exos dry the spermatheca roll up or stick making it hard to see. Re-wet the area between the anterior book lungs with soapy or salty water and see if you can articulate the slit with a toothpick to reveal a flap like the pic above. Spermatheca will mature, and grow, with the T, so immature females will have smaller, less-developed spermatheca. Sexing from exos becomes easier with older Ts, usually, as every thing is bigger and more developed. For G pulchra, a flap, or semlence of a flap, female; no flap, male. [/QUOTE]
