Theraphosa Blondi

This is my T Blondi just before a molt. Can anyone tell if its a male or female?

It looks very female to me, why don't you just check the molt...
I let the molt dry because I didn't know how to sex them at the time. Then I found this forum and read up on it. Once I knew what to look for in the molt the abdomen skin was crusty and wrinkly and I couldn't get it open to ID.

So it's 2 for female and 1 for male... I hope majority is right.
 
I agree, it looks like it has palpal bulbs in the picture right after the molt. I'm sure this is a male.

Are there bulps under the palps now? It looks almost like a mature male now.[/QUOTE]

I always thought blondis is the one species that doesn't have tibial spurs??? am I wrong?

He isnt talking about tibial hooks. He is talking about enlarged pedipalps which all mature males have.
