GBB color question

[Metal Webber]

Are male Gbbs more colorful than females?
This isn’t to confirm a gender im just wondering if I ended up with a female if she’d still have all the color

 

[DomGom TheFather]

Not that I'm aware

GBB’s are not sexually dimorphic. (No difference in color by gender).

 

[Metal Webber]

Ok! Good to know

both are beautiful, the male looks brighter here but he just got better flash bounce, he also looks bigger but she was 1.5x bigger than he

Did he make it? I have tried a few times to pair GBBs and the females are just horrible ha ha

Both males and females look generally the same gorgeous colors!

They are sexually dimorphic, but not sexually dichromatic.

They are sexually dimorphic, but not sexually dichromatic.

Because the females are larger, right?

Because the females are larger, right?

Because males have a longer leg length in relation to body length than females, have tibial spurs, and papal bulbs. Sexual dimorphism refers to the two physical forms between males and females. Although it can include differences in color, it is not exclusive to color. All spiders are sexually dimorphic, but not always two different colors.

he did 3x. Keep the chicas well fed and have chopsticks ready. As you can see in the photo he was making a hasty retreat.
Sadly she molted before producing a sac. We had another MM and were getting ready to pair and she died of old age. (sniff) was sad because she was one of the biggest GBBs I have ever seen
and our MM was big too. We were hoping for a sac of plus size models
