This is a follow up of my previous post about my large P. cambridgie sling. Original post is here.

I finally got pictures, they are really crappy but at least you can see the slings. The large one (named lump) is still larger but not as much. I sold the last of my slings so I don't have any more to compare his growth rate with unless some of the people I sold the other to will help me with charting growth (did that make sense?)

The vial in the pictures is 2 3/4" tall, the best I could do for size reference.

i have noticed the same thing with my Pterinochilus murinus slings some are so much larger i was wondering if they had cannibalized some of there siblings and moved on to the next instar but i think its most likely like talkenlate04 said maybe its the males growing faster

I'm going to bite the bullet and say female. I like to live dangerously ;)

I got a good look at the venteral last night and it actually looks female. My venteral sexing is only about 50% though, time will tell.

WOW - how small is it possible to accurately ventrally sex T's?
