start posting you should post like ten pic's and have everyone who wants a go to give what they yhink they are. Then in a few months when you have sexed them we see who came closest.

 

[massmorels]

lol.. good call. :clap:

to start it off.. here is a 3" P. rufilata unsexed. Twice the size of what you say you are able to sex. I already know what sex most will say it is.. and at this size, no way to know without a molt.

 

[massmorels]

okay.. heres one!
1.5" P. miranda.. you say you can sex at that size liar , is this male or female?

 

[Talkenlate04]

What the heck why not.
I am going to say female Rufilata, male Miranda.
I have confirmed sexes of both so that's what I am going off of, how mine look and how those look. Might be wrong but guessing is fun.

If the carapace issue is a determining factor in the accurate prediction of gender in slings it appears the Rufilata should be female. The Miranda could be male but I think those who have populations for comparison are far more likely to get it right. Do you know the gender of either one?

 

[massmorels]

Do you know the gender of either one?

nope, both are unsexed.. the miranda is only 1.5"!! impossible to sex.. I dont even know if a molt can be sexed with a microscope at that size. :?
heres another pic of the same sling..

heres the other miranda i have thats 1.5".. any guesses on this one?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Can you get a ventral of the Miranda? I am just curious. The first one you posted not the second one. Actually both lol.

EDIT: and my guess for the new pics is still male for the top one............ and the second one need to be retaken, it might be the flash glare that's messing with my head on that one.

 

[massmorels]

lol.. you have 1.5" pokie slings.. you know that getting them to sit still long enough just to get a pic is a task in itself. let alone trying to get it to hold still for a ventrical. wouldnt see much anyways... its just too small.
Im off to a concert in Detroit, maybe ill give it a shot when i get home.

True but its a fun challange. Till you have an ornata jump without warning and nest under your armpit....... talk about a fun time!

YIKES!! that'd be a tender spot to get tagged in..
well, might as well entertain all pic requests since we're just guessing anyways. We're gonna have to keep this thread alive for a few months until I can sex these lil' kids.
Ill take pics for you when I get back from the show..

 

[Talkenlate04]

Ill be trapped here at work so I will wait........ patiently.

 

[massmorels]

Reel Big Fish and LessThan Jake in Detroit.. it may be awhile.
I feel your pain, Ill be dealing cards from 2pm-2am the next 3 days straight.

 

[TarantulaLV]

This is funny! Any young Ornata shots. We appreciate your gymnastics in the pokie sling shots. I know it is a headache.

Really? wrong city for you. Bring your operation out here!!

 

[TTstinger]

here you go just molted what is it

 

[Talkenlate04]

Ill say female.
And I will now stand by to be corrected cause I dont know if I get it yet.

 

[Rydog]

I'll pipe in and say 100% female.

A 100% huh...... I had an inkling but I am not at that confident yet. :worship:

 

[Rydog]

Thats based on what massmorels and others said, I'm still a beginner at sexing pokies but I'm certain I'm right. what species is shown?
