From an argumentative standpoint I ripped you to pieces what more could you expect?!:)
When you sober up in the morning and read this tomorrow I suspect even you will wonder what the heck you were talking about. :}
Ok. I see who "lost" here. You are coming up with this stupidity, then I say bye bye Ryan.
That was really really lame Ryan.So you are debating to see who beats who...Reeeeaaally lame. ;)

Man I wish my schedule allowed me to get into debates of this kind more often. When I was in school I had lots of fun doing this instead of homework.

More on topic, no one ever disagrees with Ryan because he's the one who sexed all our T's (thanks, man)! :)

Naaa. I don't care if someone disagrees with me that is how life goes. If I took it personal every time someone disagreed with me Id have ended my life by now. :)
And people do disagree with me all the time, I welcome it.

haha..man fran and ryan..let me stir the pot. i get both sides. but i have to vouch or ventral sexing too.

i am 100% right so far when is has come to ventral sexing...never had 1 wrong.

i own 68 Ts. i know im 100% right thus far because i always ventrally sex them first, later to double check myself when they molt. 68 and 0...ifthats not a streak i dont know what is. now dont get me wrong..i have second guessed myself. twice, but both times the 1st was always right.

but. i have also seen what fran speaks of. for instance...look up "sex me up(2 spiders)" or something like that..i made a thread featuring a P. regalis, and a P. irminia. now both screamed female, but i needed 2nd opinions..and guess what. only me a kyle dickerson were 100% right. others said male. but in there defence they did kinda have a "male look" to them..maybe it was the lighting. a spec, the pose..but a not All pics can be accurate which i belive is what fran means. but i had the advantage of acually pinch grabbing them as well which was alot more accurate.

also it is not uncommon for people who specilize in a few sp. to get so good at ventral sexing they literally cant and wont be wrong. ive seen 2 people like that.

Not sure how you stirred the pot, but great post. When it comes to sexing my own Ts in person my streak is in the 100's easily maybe 1000's. You and I know it works, and I am sure others believe too.

i made a thread featuring a P. regalis, and a P. irminia. now both screamed female, but i needed 2nd opinions..and guess what. only me a kyle dickerson were 100% right. others said male.
I have spent little time on the boards lately and I never saw that thread. ;)

I agree, I know several people like that. BUT most of those things you are looking for when ventral sexing apply across the board. Not in all cases but most for sure.

Ventral sexing with the T on hand is way different than doing so over a picture in the computer.
Also, to ventraly sex a 10 inches T.Blondi is different than to sex a 2 inch Pokie.

yeah fran it is easier in person i said that..i took your side too bud.;)

also the smallest ive sexed was 1 inch. ventrally. and in person. it was a brachypelma albopilosum.

i see both sides here. dont get me wrong i have seen pics on here that were so obvious a new T owner with a 5 min overview of sexing could do. then ive seen pics that are still good but have the"its a picture factor" the door swings both ways.

but i will also say that on a few pics ive seen it is acually possible to 100% no ifs ands or buts about it be sexed "garunteed" the pic on this thread is one of those.

I think the ONLY thing that was clear here is that the tarantula is a FEMALE :)
