[Prometheus]

[grayzone]

thats what IM thinking .. hope were correct

 

[grayzone]

anybody else wanna take a shot at it?

 

[Ultum4Spiderz]

most all of my baby Obts web there container up Insanely... sorry you dont got webbers like me
They are in small containers "fit to there size" with a little bit of substrate... all are like fully webbed

 

[grayzone]

yeah, well see after "her" next molt ultum.. im gonna take out a bit more of the sub. there is like 3" or a bit more in there now, but i plan on taking some out to wee what it does. "she" doesnt really climb too much or often so im not worried about it falling

 

[grayzone]

ouch... NOBODY ELSE wants to take a shot at sexing huh?? i have the same pics posted in the correct forums as well. Ive gotten 2 responses, however i need a UNANIMOUS decision to satisfy my curious mind

Pretty sure it's female. OBT males are pretty obvious

 

[grayzone]

thanks jeff. I been thinkin girl myself since she was like 2.5-3" just never knew for sure. I dont see all the extra hair covering the furrow so..

 

[wesker12]

pretty sure theres a furrow - female.
the more moist my obt was the less it webbed, the drier it was the more it webbed
(i know that obts prefer dry but I believe they can handle pretty much anything from the (40 - 70% humidity comfortably).

Looks female to me as well.

Another T is a great answer to this problem. I keep most of my T's in Acrylic or plastic containers, I read a while ago that tarantulas can attach their web to plastic/acrylic a lot easier than glass. This could have something to do with it..

I didnt see that there were already three pages and the topic sort of switched....... Oh well, it looks like a girl to me.

 

[grayzone]

thanks all who've replied

If she's burrowed, she's happy so i wouldn't take that away from her. My LP started to make burrows so i took some substrate out and she got really pissy so i changed it again because it was happy, indivdiuals do vary

 

[grayzone]

if i DO do anything i am still leavin SOME substrate. i will leave the bottom of the tank with like 2" of coco, then add some decoration. IF i can find a PU male or MM i will prob leave her alone. I want a male in case my (and others) guess is right. soon as she molts i wanna dive into my 2nd breeding project. STILL waiting on a PU male regalis to molt so i can pair him with a HUGE female i got as well

Yeah gotta love the waiting game for Males. I have a few that I am impatiently waiting for... Molt darn you!

i never thought getting a male would be so hard... let alone waiting for them to mature.... i am a man with little patience lol. LOVE instant gratification

 

[Prometheus]

I am just glad that they mature fast. I have a female P.fasciata that is "hurtin for a squirtin" from my immature male who just molted and darn it still not mature!!! Lol!
