GBB M/F?
Just picked up this GBB off Craigslist, can anyone tell male or female? Approx. 3"
@Mvtt70 yeah absolutely, I see what looks to be a spermathacae but then again I’m still learning on ventral sexing, so hopefully you can get a second opinion, good luck
 
@Mychajlo Spermathecae would only be present inside a molt, not visible on the outside of the tarantula. What you look for when vent sexing is the presence or absence of epiandrous fusillae (presence of it indicating male). This is the website that helped me figure out vent sexing and it's the website I always recommend to people learning

@Mvtt70 If you put a gun to my head and made me give you an answer, I'd say male. But honestly the picture is too blurry for me say that with much confidence. Your best bet would be waiting on a molt
