Hello, my first T, heteroscodra maculata. Is it possible to tell male or female?
Your first T is an H. mac? That has the potential to be a very steep learning curve, just FYI.

These are sexually dimorphic at pretty small size - white base color with black or dark chocolate brown markings = female; khaki/tan with darker khaki/tan markings = male. Looks khaki to me, but maybe that's just the lighting.

Yes I know but I had exactly 25 euros and flight to catch :D For "her" defence never did a threat pose or made a fuss during rehousing and she was just a little sling 10 months ago. Thanks for more detailed information. I will check next molt.
