[QUOTE="MBullock, post: 217206, member: 33994"] males have epiandrous fusillae which are generally readily apparent as a dark triangular or circular patch of hairs just above the epigastric furrow. some species have a lighter abdomen and the fusillae are lighter colored. in this case, the lighter fusillae are easier to see with magnification. A jeweler's loupe will be of great help. You can easily ventrally sex all tarantulas at quite a young age. the only actual difficulty lies within your ability to notice them, really. for tiny specimens you'll need a loupe to examine the furrow. Ive noted sometimes female pokies can have a small dot on the furrow RIGHT where the epiandrous fusillae WOULD be, which can cause confusion. though once you know what the fusillae look like it's pretty obvious.
