It is probably 50/50, but some species of spiders actually favor females over males in a large way(3:1 ratio). It's a coin toss man, either way it will be an impressive spider.

makes me think male

Didn't know G. pulchripes could get to 6" in only 2 years. Any chance it's wild caught? Did you get it from a pet store or a breeder or somewhere else?

My super slow growing B. boehmi about 4 this afternoon.

Looks female to me

Yes I am positive of the age and ID, I literally drove to SSW since it's just across town about 3 1/2 years ago to get myself a christmas present. You can see some of the color showing on the legs. I guess I'm in the same boat as fartkowski as far as temps are concerned, feedings may have...

It's molted about once a year. During the past 4 years I've been in a college dorm and it's been about 70-75 degrees and feedings(meal worms since crickets are annoying and don't last long) were infrequent. It also often refused to eat so I'd have to take out the prekilled prey so it wouldn't...

I've had this B. boehmi sling for a little over 3 years. It was 1/4" when it got her and this is her today am I doing something wrong such as not feeding enough or to low of temperatures? Or is this just how slowly they grow?

I'm leaning male but I'm not sure, about 2 1/2"

robc you're being silly, by owning another animal and agreeing to take care of all of it's needs that is taking it's fate into your hands, regardless Don't give up just yet! Isolate her and watch her closely would be my vote.

Okay Rob, I'm guessing you came here from /an/ after me and spiderman were saying get a new T... but here feeding off things like mice is not considered good etique for what you are looking for in a T, if that's what you really want get a snake or phrase it as you want a large T that isn't...

English is a terrible language, simple enough. We all know that certain parts of vernacular english make it into our posts. To those who have a bit of a hissy fit over lack or punctuation or space, if you've ever read something someone has written in print, be prepared to look at words without...

Makes me think male, but hey what do I really know.

Ummm....get one of your T's to take down fido or better yet is it her house? If not you don't have to have her permission to keep spiders, let her know that. If she tried anything like killing them, you can get animal rights involved, property damage, or just sell her yapper to a kid...

I had one from .5"~ till maturity the other day and I wouldn't say that it was the hard to raise. It might just be people making a bigger deal out of it, some animals just die and avics seem to be prone to it for some reason:( Then again I live in a place where the humidity is consistently 75%

The rents said they think spiders are just a phase, mind you I'm 18 and I don't think an interest in spiders is any more a phase than my major... but alas, I don't have the spare money to get any new spiders this christmas :(

yea that's a girl

it's not immoral if you think your governments rules are wrong or corrupt, the power of the government comes from what the people give it...but no, I wouldn't do it if I were you or her

Now Now:shame: :shame: , we can't rule out these foreign spiders being possible terrorists :wall: I occasionally get the white powder on my hides, It never bothered me too much I would just take it out and wash it off...sure ti comes back, but it's louisiana and mold grows on everything...
