eyesite sexing of Rosea

[looseyfur]

any good nearly sure fire ways to sex Roseas at a glance ... ie. the males have greenish tinges or the females are way bigger ....
I have an intresting op to stuble into a breeding pair but I need to take my choice of two of three.


I explained to my girlfriend how I felt about collecting tarantulas and after a long conversation with her she finally goes (and i am paraphrasing) " so they are kinda like hockey cards? (or baseball cards for those who like that lousy sport) ", I thought about it and have been smiling since.

are you talking mature Ts? If so, it's really easy...males have the 'tibial hooks' and enlarged palps, and the females don't
If you are talking juveniles and slings, then the question becomes harder to answer.
I don't think AFAIK...that color or size are any kind of good indication of gender though.
It's easiest and more surefire with a molt at your disposal, but people that are really good at it, can turn a T over, and tell that way. The shape of the booklungs and the epigastric furrow (if it's there) can help.
If you like, I can send you a drawing that Rosemary Kraft made, that can help identify what gender a T is. That being said, it's iffy at best.
There are numerous threads that have addressed this that you might want to do a search on also. I have also posted the pic at one point, but don't remember the thread.
