Poecilotheria regalis

P regalis, probably about 4 years old, thoughts on gender?
regalis grow fast. mine went from 1/2" to 4" in a year. if its 4 years old and not a MM, its female.
but to me, it looks male.
 
I acquired it Dec 2012 as a 1.5-2 sling. It's large, has a leg span of 6-7in. Thanks for the guess.
 
I agree....I will also say, that at that size, they can be sexed even easier from a dorsal view. The carapace is a dead giveaway at that size. Although it looks female ventrally, as one would expect from a regalis of this age (although a male maturing this slow isn't exactly unheard of, just unusual).

I don't think you should have any doubts that its a she.
 
It has very long legs, and a few years back I was told here it's likely male. I'd be thrilled if it's a she.
