Ha ha ha ha ha.

I bloody wish. I suppose it won't be long until I'll know though. 2" won't be many moults off.

All jokes aside, it does look pretty female already. If the dorsal patterns continue to darken as it grows then you can be sure. If they begin to fade..male.

Either way you end up with a beautiful spider. Males are stunning too, and they mature huge. This guy is every bit of 7''.

Ah right. Cheers.

See I just don't like that male. So drab and skinny.

Your female though us stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Honestly???????

How are you able to tell at that size? She's (please tell me you're not joking) is tiny.

Stalker is right, you will know definitively in a molt of two....but that dark ventral band on the carapace is a clear female trait. I would bet a pile of beans on toast on it being female.

I so hope you're both right.
