G. pulchra
~2" dls (maybe a tad bigger)

Any idea on male or female? This one is eating me alive lol

Thanks in advance!🙂
Easily male
Alright. I guess I saw this one wrong the last molt. My eyes apparently aren't set up for sexing molts (unless really obvious lol had my fingers crossed). Thank you for taking a look and your feedback🙂

Honestly G.pulchra is rather tricky at small sizes. I am still sure that you have a male,but when i sexed my pulchra,i first didn't find a spermatheca but just a structure that does not resemble the spermatheca,so i leaned male. That was until i unrolled the structure and revealed a spermatheca.

I don't see any kind of folded up structure here,but if possible,a closer picture wouldn't hurt. At 2" the spermatheca should be fairly visible though.

Thanks for explaining, I appreciate it. I'll have to wait until the next molt because I tried zooming in and the pic looks very fuzzy and he is now devouring his molt. I guess we'll be in the dark for another year🤣 thanks again for taking a look and your help. I've only had 2 or 3 molts that I was 100% sure on because it was super obvious (iheringi, fimbriatus, and X. sp. Blue)

Edit: I had to have help with fimbriatus, my mistake the molt was small and I had trouble but someone more experienced saw the spermathecae but the iheringi's and sp. Blue's were very obvious due to being larger T's just wanted to correct my mistake lol
