2.5" LP

I know it's horribly blurry and likely impossible to tell, but I figured that at this size, anything that would be there, should be visible enough. So I'm thinking male?
I was 100% sure that my L.difficilis was male until she reached 3" and there it was... spermathecae!
The larger species might take a bit longer to show clearly. I find that the 3" mark, for tarantulas who get to be 6+ inches, is the magic size.
I would keep checking with the next couple of moults.
 
@VanessaS That's good to know! With this most recent molt, I'm thinking it just reached the 3" mark, strictly eyeballing it. So maybe in a few months when it molts again, I'll have a nice surprise
