I have been wanting a vinegaroon for a while, so I picked one up. It is pretty small, maybe 2 inches and was labeled “Adult” when I bought it. So I’m curious as to weather you think it’s full grown and weather it’s a male or female, or how to sex it because I have no idea how to. I put a pic of it a few inches from my finger for Size reference.

I would say female. And potentially gravid. But that’s only a speculation.

How big is it, excluding claws and whips? Only sure way on smaller specimens is looking at the underside for the genital operculum

I can put it in a clear container and take a picture of the underside. Without claws and stuff I’d say maybe an inch and a half.

Here’s the underside. I hope it’s a good enough pic, I’m not sure what to look for.
