Just like it sounds: people who bought multiple slings of a single species, what were your male to female ratios? Not looking for the non-existent formula to female success here, just want to know what people ended up with.
I'll start with mine (so far).
Brachypelma albiceps 3 slings - one dead shortly after arrival, one male, one suspect female.
Psalmopoeus pulcher 4 slings - 2 male, 2 female.
Psalmopoeus victori 3 slings - 1 male, 2 female.
Cyriopagopus hainanus 3 slings - 2 male, 1 female
Hysterocrates gigas 3 slings - 3 suspect female (while mine hoard their molts, and never climb the sides of their enclosures, they are of a size now where sexual dimorphism would have kicked in and none have the slender build of the males I have seen pictured, but I won't go out on a limb of calling them confirmed females)
Phormingochilus carpenteri 6 slings - one dead shortly after arrival, 3 males, 2 females.
Poecilotheria vittata 4 slings - one dead shortly after arrival, 2 males, 1 female.
Pterinochilus murinus 'usambara' 3 slings - 3 males (ended up buying a juvie female shortly after buying these and only paid $11 dollars each for the slings, so not a big loss)
Overall I've done pretty well so far.
