Grammostola pulchra 2"

I think I see what may be spermathecae (female) but at that size you really need to examine it under stronger magnification to be sure.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have the equipment to take a photo with stronger magnification. I guess I'll have to wait until my tarantula gets a little bigger.

Understandable. I've got a bunch of slings so I invested in a quality microscope, but for a few years I used a cheap pocket microscope like this:

Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope, Portable Handheld Microscope STEM Toy, Mini Microscope for Student Science Lab, Educational Portable Microscope (MM-300) https://a.co/d/cPZMqx8

They work great and come in handy for more than just sexing spiders!
