I disagree, his has a slight bump in the middle, kind of like a half circle, mine is pretty much a line dipping down.Your ventral picture and his look the same there Novak........:}
No, that is definately Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. They go through drastic color changes from slings to adults. Every stage they look different.maybe this is just me but doesnt that orange and black and the size of the tarantula make yall think he titled this post wrong?....those colors look more like one from a costa rican tiger rump....Does anyone see it that way too? or am i missing something?...
I thought adult GBBs were blue and green and some other colors like that....
Well, mine is a guaranteed and confirmed female, and I really don't see any similarity. I could be wrong, I have before, but I'm going with what I see. The only true way to tell I believe is via molt.Juvi GBB have that pattern on their rumps. It phases out eventually.
Oh and Novak that raised bump is another good indication of female. Flat and indented is a sign of male coupled with the dense patch of hair, which is lacking in his picture and yours.
The second picture is the best one and there is no half patch.....
No problem. It gets easier as you practice more, but still it's never 100% accurate.Thanx for those links Novak that cleared up a-lot of what you guys are lookin at.
It still seems to be an art best left to experianced T keepers. I see what you mean about mine with the bump or dip but the last 2 pics look like yours to me.
I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope the next molt will be good enough to sex:rolleyes
