Well actually he might be a she... you see spiders have two little things on there face that look like legs called "petipalps" but most true spiders unlike tarantulas can be sexed using there petipalps.He has only been in captivity for about two days now as well
You see petipalps are actually sex organs meaning they pretty much just rub these things against the others petapalps and BOOM! You have a preggo spider. Males actually store sperm in there palps and females receive sperm into there palps. Because males store sperm in there palps they have "boopers" (that's what I call them) on the end of there palps where the sperm is held this is pictured above. This is how we tell the difference my friend: males have boxing glove boopers and females dont, now let's take a look at your spiders petipalps.
You see how there's no booper? That's how I know you have a girl. Hope you enjoyed this spider sex ed lesson
