it could be a she or a he.. i didnt know my first rosea Oscar was a male until he molted his first time with me and matured! then i got a female... but she has molted and i am pretty sure she is a female because of bulk and no sperm palps and she is twice the size Oscar was. so if your rosea is a female name it something that starts with O like i named my male oscar then i got a female and her name is Olivia. haha i just thought i would keep the O's!!!

Here are some photos of my rosea, Artemis.. before and afters of her last molt. She looks so different I'm thinking she's a male now.

Ah well, he/she is beautiful.

Are you sure that's female? Looks awful leggy to me. Have you checked for hooks and boxing gloves on this one yet?

 

[Ponderosa Power]

No I said in my first post that I think she's a male. i'm not sure what boxing gloves are but I see what I'm pretty sure are the hooks.

Yes you got a mature male

 

[Ponderosa Power]

Sad day. Oh well at least he's prettty. The reptile show's coming up so if he's gone before then I may get another, or maybe a millepede instead.

Why not just get another rosie. Besides he could still live three or four more years.

I thought they only live 6-18 months after sexual maturity?

I think that pic of your little friend before moulting may have identified my tarantule. http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=123332 it´s certainly in the right geographic location.

Damn, I dunno. What do you think ?

Many folks have their G.rosea males live for a couple of years after their ultimate molt. Enjoy him while you have him, and just to double check, look under his front pair of legs at the second joint for a hook on each leg. It should be pretty obvious. You can see what they look like here: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2005/09/07/brachypelma-vagans-tibial-apophysis.jpg or here: http://bugguide.net/images/cache/BZ4LWZ5L8ZWHAH4HRREHZR9HUZILWZ7LHRWHWZNHNZ8LAZ7LZR5H6Z4LWZZL4ZIH1H4HBHSLBZ9HRRGHBHXHFHIL.jpg
