Yeah, I knew that but I always thought that method was reliable only when the T reached a certain age or size, like in other species. I didn't know that it could be used from the get-go.
Poecilotherias are rather difficult to sex this way because the genus has very prominent male accessory organs. I've even seen breeders get it wrong.
That said - @cold blood I posted some good dorsal pics of my 3 slings at 3" at some point and people had a hard time telling what is what. I'm not sure you can dorsally sex ornatas at 2". I know Advans thread but his pics are just beyond clear and well lighted. That's not so easy to reproduce.
@cold blood Uh - I think my previous comment may have been unclear. I meant Poecilotherias are difficult to sex via spermathecae sexing.
Yes, of course you can sex ornatas dorsally, but at 2" that's rather optimistic. It didn't work with mine, not because I couldn't do it, but because more experienced people couldn't do it either.
@boina oh yes...it wasnt clear...i do agree...imo they are easier to vent sex than molt sex....ventrally theyre one of the easiest there is IMO....but ornata are the easiest of all.
