So, I was going about my business, looking at all my beautiful tarantulas, when I noticed my P. metallica sling was up against the side of the deli cup. I hadn't tried to sex it before and figured this was a good chance to.
Lo and behold, it has the dot/uneven furrow. So highly suspect male. My P. vittata juvie (got it when it was on the sling/juvie cusp): male. P. subfusca LL juvie (got it around sling/juvie cusp): male. P. subfusca HL sling: male. So far the only confirmed female is my P. regalis and well she's an adult so fairly obvious.
I know, it's a small sample size, it's across many species, really I should be getting multiples if I'm actually aiming to get a female, etc. Even so, I love them all! However, it's just curious that I would get mostly males so far. Here's hoping either my new P. vittata sling or P. ornata sling breaks the streak . I'll have to see though, P. vittata might be big enough to sex but I haven't been able to get a good ventral view and the P. ornata is too small.
