Look like a Orange Bitchy Thing to me. Hint: a bitch is not a male dog

Anyway, first time sexing. And you should post it in the appropriate place.

 

[daniel15]

sorry for posting it here, it's just that i saw so many threads just like mine here. sorry

 

[smof]

My vote is on female. Congrats.

 

[daniel15]

i hope it really is a female just like mg grossa. hehe tnx!

 

[Zoltan]

Looks like a pretty lady to me too.

 

[daniel15]

maybe it really is a lady. hehe

This is a hard one, but I'm still thinking it's a male. P. murinus isn't exactly the easiest species to sex ventrally.

Edit: Actually, I think it's a female. There's just something so incredibily confusing in P. murinus, when you try to sex them ventrally.

 

[daniel15]

yes, i agree, i gave some species which i can sex them ventrally but this ones giving ma a hard time! hehe

 

[daniel15]

still looking for some answers

I would say female but not 100% i'd like a closer look at the pedipalps just to be sure

 

[daniel15]

she's already 4" or more but i can't see any hook, i'll post pics of the pedipalps as soon as i get the chance.

Sorry, but that P. murinus will hook out at 5-5.5"

The little indent is tell tale of male and on a female of that size there's a second ridge (for lack of a better term)

 

[daniel15]

if it's a male then it's still ok coz theres a female wating for him when he matures. hehe

 

[Widowman10]

i would say male, based especially on pic #2.

but post in the EF sexing section. people frequent there often and know what they're talking about.

 

[daniel15]

tnx for your replies! hehe i would post there the next time i have an unidentified spider. hehe

 

[testdasi]

I believe Daniel15 posted the same pics in sexing forum. The responds were mixed as well. But ya, I agree that those frequent the sexing forum know a lot more than my basic knowledge.

 

[daniel15]

i'm sorry but i haven't posted pictures in the sexing forum, maybe you've mistaken someone's pictures to be mine. hehe

My male P. murinus matured at less than 4".

My male P. murinus matured at less than 4".

Yes but he said the T is already 4". My male went from right around 4" to almost 5.5" on it's ultimate molt.
