2" G. Pulchra male or female?

[nickulas]

I'm trying to ventrally sex my 2" pulchra.
I dont have the experience with ventral sexing because what i learned is from exuvium sexing.
But from what im guessing correct me if im wrong its a male?

I see female. Ventral Sexing

 

[nickulas]

I see female. Ventral Sexing

Scoolman how can you tell and what made you says its female?
Newbie questions when its comes to ventral sexing heheheheh.

Looks very male to me.

Guys how accurate in ventral sexing and what is the appropriate size.
My specimen is about 2 inches I have to use a macro lens to achieve this picture.

It could just be the lighting but, I do not see any epiandrous fusillae (short densly packed "hairs") above the epigastric furrow; forming a narrow horseshoe pattern in G pulchra males. Even though G pulchra is black the epiandrous fusillae are quite prominent and noticeable on a 2" specimen.

Ventral sexing can be difficult. Its accuracy is entirely in the "eye of the beholder". It can be very accurate with a little practice. At 2" leg span, though, you can accurately use ventral sexing.
This is a shot from a penultimate male I have. Granted it is of the interior of the exuvium, but you can clearly see the epiandrous fusillae and the horseshoe pattern I am speaking of.

Hi guys here is the picture of the 1st specimen
Thanks for the help I hope it will be a female on the exuvium

If you could take some pictures from further back, I think that would be helpful.

 

[Redneck]

Might help a little if you wait for the second one to molt..

You are correct Redneck but I will wait to make sure.
Im trying to learn ventral sexing but I still prefer spemathecae sexing.
Thanks for the advice..
