your saying based on carapace that her's is a male well then I guess this guys has his male all wrong then right http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showpost.php?p=749094&postcount=1146 cause your photo of your female looks no different. now the folio's are diff is that what your trying to say?
no i was showing a females carapace and how distinctive along with the folio's and abdomen stripe..differ from males at the same size...and where do you get this, hers is a male thing???? we werent talking about either of hers.......

Sick4x4, are you sure that girl was only 3.75"?
I swear, the females i have did not get their full stripes until they reached atleast 4.5-5". And, as immatures, the male was always alot bluer.

Spider #1 moulted yesterday and it is indeed a female, now I just hope that #2 is a male! I'll post some pics of her once she hardens up.
