Another Mastigoproctus giganteus sexing thread

[AnnieCole]

Hello all!

I obtained my first giant vinegaroon today! The person selling it left all her sexing information at home, and she couldn't remember if this individual was male or female. It is less than a year old (she mentioned March?) so I realize it may still be tough.

I'm guessing female from my scouring of online resources, but if I'd appreciate an "expert" opinion!

Also, taking name suggestions!

A less intrusive way of getting a picture of their underside is putting them in a clear container

I wasn't getting clear shots, my Cera would focus on it how I wanted.
I'll definitely try again in the future!

Crappy photos, but you can get the gist of it.

It's currently hiding back under the leaves. The substrate is a combo of ZooMed's creature soil and coconut coir. It's deeper than I intended, but I think it'll be good for burrowing.

I'm running to the store later to grab an appropriate piece of cork, the ones I was planning on using aren't working how I want.

Looks good I think, but it could definitely use a corkbark hide. The creature soil is decent stuff, I use it too.

Yay I'm glad it's up to snuff! The hide I had intended to use had some mold on it from being damp, and the others weren't the size I was looking for. I just want to start out fresh and clean.
