Not Entirely True As negative as this situation may be, I am somewhat relieved that the 3 of the 4 individuals that deals fell through with came together on a post. Unfortunately I became severely ill and was no longer able to maintain a functioning shop. Things were split among people and sold...

Ok. Lesson learned. No ventral sexing on the phone. I concede. It is male. I apologize. Obvious on a larger screen. That "dot" they are referring to is a patch of hairs males use for mating purposes. On Poecilothera like regalis, you can sex them based on a prominent black line down the dorsal...

I cannot see it. Perhaps I am making the mistake of viewing it on my phone. All I can see is a prominent furrow. I will take a look on a larger screen when I hit the shop. To the OP, however, a basic (not guaranteed) way of identifying a larger specimen of tigrinawesseli is the under-coloration...

In light of the furrow, it merely looks underfed. If we had size of the spider and a dorsal shot, it wouldn't be difficult to settle it. I still say female. If I ever see a male with that prominent of an epigastric furrow, I'll have missed out on 10 years of Poecilothera. Anything is possible...

Picture 2 and 3- That prominent furrow indicates female. Wait till it molts and repost here when you have confirmation. Thanks, Jonathan.

Female. Thanks, Jonathan.

The classifieds are an option, however scarcely offer appropriate pricing for ultimate males. There is a retail and breeder formula for determining pricing. Reasonable would be $50.00-$65.00. Thanks, Jonathan.

Rather than sit here and take stabs at what member of this disorganized genus (Aphonopelma) this spider is, why don't you provide some information? Did you buy it? Pick it up off of a rock? Flash does magnificent things for Aphonopelma hentzi and a molt will color a chalcodes a beautiful caramel.

Yes. That is correct. The pre-molt cycle has extended duration as the spider ages.

All is well... That is a healthy looking tarantula. No need for concern. Larger specimens of the Grammostola family fast for periods of 6 months or more. We have had spiders not eat for a year. Also, a side note for that spider, when the "gold patch" on the abdomen becomes a dull brown/caramel...

Eggs were likely infertile. This happens when you have two different Theraphosa, which you may or may not have had.

60 days is far too long.

Acanthoscurria geniculata: 1/17/2011 She dropped 800 babies last time! Geniculata by crowsarachnids, on Flickr Poecilotheria bara (Lowland): 1/17/2011 Here's hoping she is gravid! LowLand by crowsarachnids, on Flickr Poecilotheria miranda: 1/17/2011 Recently...

Brachypelma smithi: 1/16/2011 I was recently interviewed for a television broadcast, in which I am holding this spider. She's going to be a celebrity! I'll love her even more when she drops her second sac, first time she gave me 400! Smithi by crowsarachnids, on Flickr

The time has come for us to compose our website and the camera has been quite abused lately! Enjoy the following pictures! So that all may be aware, I, Jonathan Silva, am an absolute ninny when it comes to cameras, computers, and just about everything else that has a power button, so bear with...

Several thousand. Also, I booth all the southern shows.

Funny you say that as I saw your for sale ad and it appeared to be an apophysis.

Time to go get some bees.
