And my A. geroldi, while appearing male at times, is def. a female-- molt confirmed it myself.
Your geroldi was female ventrally, it was blatantly obvious. I only molt sexed her for you, otherwise I wouldn't have.

Indeed you did. I wasn't saying it wasn't. My point was just casually looking at their size and such doesn't mean you have one gender or the other at certain time points. Molt is still 100% ;) Trust me, much appreciated you did. She just molted a few days ago, a considerable size gain on her too. Needs a rehouse.

Ok, I thought you meant ventrally looked male at times because the only time the body / legs look male is upon maturity. I might be overestimating the people you are explaining this to, though. ;)
Nice, I'm glad she is still doing well!

I had a feeling that's what you thought. You may be as well. We never know how much/little a person really knows. Get with Boom and breed some more Avics!

All these individuals are almost the same size and are all adults or sub-adults.

Your first photo looks like an Avicularia avicularia and the second photo is not clear enough, nor provides enough detail, to make a guess either way.
I know this is an older post but I’m new and this was the exact thing I was looking for and had struggled to find :) tysmmmm
