Acanthoscurria natalensis Sexing (A little help please)

[Najakeeper]

What do you guys think?

I do not know anything about this but looks kind of like male to me.

This is a nice male. You must find him a girl! :}

He is going right back to the pet shop since my wife bought him as a female for me for new years.

Unless someone has a female in Switzerland or south Germany.

This is a nice male.

Based on what? Looks like a female to me.

That would be awesome.

Here are a couple pictures to show you guys how he/she looks like:

Looks like a Nhandu to me, perhaps the pet store should give you money back for a miss ID, instead of the sex haha

Here is another example from the good old world wide web. Looks quite similar to me:

Anything is possible since this is a pet shop T. As long as it is a female, I am happy.

Many tarantulas look alike at first glance, but the long hairs on the carapace of your spider indicate Nhandu rather than Acanthoscurria. Nhandu carapoensis would be my guess.

Regardless, I still think its a female, so enjoy.

Tom is correct on both accounts...First it is a Female and Second that is a Nhandu not Acanthoscurria....I would put money on it.....

From what I have been able to find about them, Nhandu carapoensis seems a bit pricier than the other species so maybe my wife just got lucky .

So she goes into her hut yesterday and webs the entrance closed with sone dirt as well. Any idea what may be going on?
