H. Mac sexing
Just got a H. mac approx. 3.5” DLS.
Male or Female?
These are hard to sex ventrally, but from the top (dorsal side) is pretty easy to tell. On males, the pattern on the abdomen is less contrasting and they're all over fuzzier, while females have very defined markings and less hair. Females also tend to be more black/white while males are beige and tan.

That’s good to know. I didn’t know this species present a bit of sexual dimorphism. Looking at mine it does look more black/white and the markings are more visible and less fury.
