Cupiennius Salei 9cm

So this has looked male right up until that last moult, does all this colour mean it's female then and was just masquerading as a male?

As you know not kept these but read only females get the stripes so with that pattern I should imagine your he is a she 😉.

Sexing linothele and cupiennius sp.

Any tips how to sex these two? Linothele would probably be similar to theraphosids, since they are both mygalomorphs, what about cupiennius? Any photos would be welcome. Thanks

ForTW gave info saying they often cover as males till they are sub adults so makes sense she looked male not female till now.
