Ventral and dorsal look female to me bud.

Looks male, but the angle of the pic is all wrong

Dorsal only shows a difference once a male matures

Thanks. For some reason I thought I had seen some threads that said vittata starts to show dimorphism at a pretty small size, not just at maturity.

I think this is the thread I had seen before that made me think they were dimorphic at a small size. Specifically the comments by @Venom1080. https://arachnoboards.com/gallery/p-vittata-5”.60430/

There's also this thread. https://arachnoboards.com/threads/poecilotheria-vittata-sexual-dimorphism.343692/

Perhaps vittata shows subtle dimorphism at a small size, but it isn't reliable until they are bigger.

Anyway, appreciate your help.
