No not the posters here :p . I was just wondering out of an eggsac is it pretty even as to how many males and females spiderlings. Or is one more rare then others? I don't see much on this subject at all. The reason I ask is that I wanna know the chance of gettin a female in the form of a spiderling. I have no real intrest in buying full grown or mature Ts, so I guess every T I'll get will be a luck/chance thing as to what sex it is.

T gender is chromosomally determined like most animals so it is theoretically a 50/50 split. If you start with small slings, you should get an reasonably even distribution. What I try to do is purchase 2-3 of any species for which gender is important - still no guarantee but it's better than just buying 1. Or, buying a juvenile and hoping because they very often have been sexed no matter what the ad says when it comes to more desireable species.
