i have one question, how do you sex this dudes? i recently got an about 1,5" Ceratogyrus bechuanicus but have no clue if it is male/female, is there any difference in color or pattern at this size?

you can sex a tarantula when it get the 2 inch mark by looking at the sexing area inside the EXUVIUM

Thanks!

Yup, looks fantastic! But from 1.01.2007 we won't be able to keep these species.. they'll be banned... probably.

Edit: Just realized that you were in Poland Dark Raptor, and breathed a sigh of relief.
