@Kimora I'm newer at the ventral sexing but I look for the epigastric furrow to tell if its a female right? I have also read that the females will often more space between their lungs. but I also have read that nothing is 100% unless you have a moult in front of you...what do you look for to tell if it's male or female when ventral sexing in layman's terms lol
@TheSanguineSaint
Ventral sexing refers to inspection of the underside of the tarantula, focusing on the area of the epigastric furrow (the fold between the anterior set of book lungs)
Females will have an opening in the furrow, called the gonoslit, sometimes resembling “lips”.
Males will have a dense, circular or crescent patch of hair, known as epiandrous fusillae.
BUT like you said, nothing is 100% unless you have a molt in front of you. We give our opinion but in no case I said is 100% hihihi
