Nhandu chromatus - around 3” leg span
I’m leaning towards female but i need opinions, please. Thank you!
Sorry but I'm leaning male. I can see what looks like an arch of fusillae. Confirm with a molt, though.
Sadly I don’t have a good magnifying lens to further examine its last molt, but in the naked eye, i see two small dots. Could that be the spermathecae?

Thank you btw for your opinion!
 
This is about how my now Mature Male Chromatus looked at that size. So i'm strongly leaning male
 
I don't get how y'all are able to pinch grab tarantulas this small. In my head canon, they're as squishy as water balloons before they hit like 4 inches.
 
Possibly. Although it could also be male accessory organs. If you post a pic of the next molt we can help you!
Again, thank you! Fingers crossed she’s a she

Thank you! Though my hopes are still high that it’s a female lol 😂

Just be gentle when pinch grabbing tarantulas this size. And always check their temperament before doing so, because they could be skittish sometimes.
