The only way to tell from here is if it is mature?

If it's at its ultimate molt than 100% female

Sorry, maybe too little input from me ;-)

The body lenght (not legspan!) is about 3.1 inch so it should be an adult tarantula.

You need a ventral shot, all you can tell from your pic is that it's not a mature male, immature males and females are virtually identical.

But with 3.14 inch body length the tarantula should be adult or not?

@Pasteo Body length means absolutely nothing to anyone outside of mainland Europe (which is most of the membership as it's a mostly US-based forum), what's the leg span?

That looks male to me, females have a pretty obvious gonoslit.

Thanks for your answer. OK so please note I come from Europe

Legspan is generally twice body size. But I also measured the tarantula yet and legspan is about 6 inch. So the tarantula should be adult?

@Pasteo Subadult in this case, males are only considered to be adults once they reach sexual maturity.
