T Stirmi

This is my T Stirmi I bought at an expo a week ago & it's 8 months old & already 4 inches. The only missing information is the sex?


I edited the photo a bit. From this I would lean towards female, but that isn't 100%.

If you get a better photo post up
 
@SeanEsqueda looking at the epigastric furrow I cannot see any darkened area, it would be where the epiandrous fusillae would be presented in a male specimen.

Also, in female specimens they tend to have a noticable line from one booklung to the other. It tends to stand out more than in males and has a sort of lips shape to it.

Sometimes the top set of lungs are closer together in male specimens but this is not very accurate way to tell as it varies with different species.


Although the best method of sexing is to wait until the next moult and examine the exuvium.
