[QUOTE="DreadedNeith, post: 134053, member: 28071"] Well.. I researched a bit more on ventral sexing and i think i may have a female. Its easier to look at her in real life rather than the photos i posted. These photos are angled because if taken straight on the camera flash makes it impossible to see the spider. The reason i think it may be a female. The epigastric flow is more rounded on my spider than on examples of males. Its hard to see that in the images i posted due to the angle. The anterior pair of booklungs are wider apart than the images of males that i have seen. and the angle of the booklungs compared to the line also indicate a female. So I know this isnt 100% accurate but i will also examine her molt when she decides to supply me with one. If anyone with more experience wants to take a guess I'd be more than happy to hear your experienced opinion. I can take more images if need be. [/QUOTE]
