I put this picture in sexing part of the forum but didn't get any answer. Due to emergency assistance of experienced folks here I am putting one here also. Hope you wont mind and that some can tell me the gender. Spider is around 7cm lagspan mark: This one is not helping much I know :)

Spider is around 5-7 cm including legs

Well...I forgot to say they are like 14cm for sure in legspawn, maybe even more. They are not at my facility. We had 3 slings around the same size one is now mature male and two are looking like this in picture. They are staying at friend and he think they are females,by looking at their moults...

Does anyone know at what size L.violaceopes females get blue coloration? I have 2 specimens that were sexed by a friend as females and they are not blue yet. The third sling matured as male from same eggsack and is same in size. Anyway here is the picture: Thanks in advance!

Where should I put charcoal? Inside the enclosure or just around or in the room somwhere?

Well, there is no chance it wont smell like there are some animals in even if you clean them. I clean mine all the time and there are so many that it must smell different...you can't clean 7 species of insects, 300 t's, 40 lizards and African rats that often that you don't have any smell, so in...

I did never try anything before cose I didn't have similar situation...I would give it a try, you think it can neutralize smells and odors of animals by just being put around the room? Did you try it?

I have problem with smell in my breeding room where I have lizards/tarantulas/scorps and many,many insects. I would like to push some thing for refreshing the air and maybe lower the smell a bit, but I don't know what can be harmfull for my critters...any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I have many herps and inverts and never ever had any problems with superworms, they are lower in hitin compared to T.molitor or meal worms, so better evade those them Z.morio. They can be easily digested, but are not high in protein as roaches or crickets, it shouldn't be staple diet, but is...

Just wanted to tell that now, few months after this thread, my colony is again doing great and there are many nymphs that already matured and breed again. They key was, as usual, just clean and monitor the colony for dead ones and remove them. It was pain in the ass to remove all of them few...

I think you said it right, he's 5 inch...leaning to a male, but I am no expert.

Do you have any better picture of the female itself, I would like to see one. Friend of mine is telling me that we got some like those sold as A.sp amazonica so would like to compare. Thanks in advance and congrats!

How big was your female? Do you mist often when she made a sack to keep it humid enough? How many days you left the sack with the female before pulling it out? Congrats!

I did search alot and no topick about Therea by poster Matt K :) If you can please write me what temps you use, cose I see you use higher humidity. Thanks!

I am getting some pretty soon. I heard some oposite tips...some say keep them moist some dry. What do you guys keep yours? I heard they eat little and that they like rotten woods and sort of forest mix of leaves etc. Like to burrow and grow very slowly...how long it takes for ootheca to hatch...

Why do you think so? Why it is important? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I know how to keep them, just wanted to know the actuall size, as I have some near 5 inch mark and one is female, 2 unsexed still.

Congratulations! That's great! Can you tell me the size of your females and male? Any pre or post care? Temps? Thanks in advance!

That unidentified species is surely from genus Phormictopus and I have one adult female P.auratus that's looking like that if she is labeled right. Btw. great pictures.

What were the temperatures you cool them to? I mean what are winter temps in your room with those tarantulas?
