Male or Female?

[Flow]

hello,

can somebody please tell me, what gender this B. Smithi is?

Thanks in forward

 

[MoonYin]

i vote female....

 

[bamato]

I also vote female. Males are pretty obvious usually at that size with Smithi's

 

[Moltar]

I think it looks a little bit maleish to me. Now dry that substrate out, no wonder he's climbing the walls!

 

[Talkenlate04]

100% lady.

 

[Tuwin]

Female for sure

 

[gbbgirl]

Female for sho.

I'd stake my dog on it, but none of my Ts.

Anybody want a dog?

I bought her on sunday and took a picture! Her terrarium is not so wet now (I know what she needs) . And it's my brothers Smithi.

Thank you all!

I would say a girl cause she looks like mine but I am just learning

All these (for lack of a better term) newbs venturing guesses at gender. Sheesh.

Also, as soon as Ryan says female, they all do. :}

Not that I don't agree with him, because I do. But I came to that conclusion by looking at the picture.

I don't think I am being followed but I should try that out sometime. Say male when it is not or female when it is not and see if it makes any difference. Just by saying this maybe more people will say the opposite of what I say thinking I am tricking them into agreeing with the wrong guess.
Ok I just confused myself lol.

Ok how about this then, of those who answered female, why do you think female? Please cite specifics.

I'm actually not all that experienced with ventral sexing, but I remember a long time ago looking at the shape near the potential furrow. Trapezoid = female, square = male.

I know all about looking for the hair in certain spots, etc., but I never really learned it.

If I can't tell, then I keep my trap shut. One of my advisers said: "It is better to remain silent and be thought dumb than to speak and remove all doubt". Funny, quiet man. :}

I learned from real life. I work at a pet store with a nice selection of T's. I've been sexing (hehehehe) since this time last year, both from molts and ventrally. I've listened to Stan Schultz lecture. JayzunBoget (he's one of my 3 bosses) tests me regularly, with actual T's instead of pics. Pics are sometimes easier, though, as it isn't moving around and you don't have to depend on good light. I'm not say that I'm always right, but usually, I am.

I'm judging from the area above the epigastric furrow. It does not have a darkened, round circle or triangle (species specific). Also, from Bagaturov's website, there are indications from the angle and width between the anterior book lungs. They are wider apart and at a greater angle relative to each other and the area where the carapace and abdomen join, in females. This particular method (by book lung width and angle) is not as obvious, unless you have a male of the same size and species next to it. Nothing to compare to. Also, no hooks, which would indicate a mature male, though a t' can be sexed an immature male without hooks.

Ryan, you are pretty easy to agree with, but it depends on if the person following you is a sheep, ready to follow, or an independent wolf, ready to lead. You got there first, but I came to my own conclusion before paging down.

xhexdx, the number of post a person has doesn't necessarily reflect the level of T' experience the person has. No doubt Ryan is very experience, and is a pioneer of T medicine, but it doesn't mean that everyone is copying him. I find that it may be possible or even probable that people do concur with him based on his awesomeness, but others do so just because Ryan and that person are both correct in their conclusions. I imagine if the smartest kid in my orgo class was to put up their answers to the test, I would have a hard time disagreeing, but this is where morality comes in and you depend on people to be honest.

 

[xhexdx]

And your explanation proves you're not one of the noobs.

I understand that post quantity does not reflect experience, because you get certain people (I won't name anyone in particular) who post so many stupid, ridiculous questions, answers, or even just play old garbage, that their post count skyrockets.

Anyway, keep up the good work. Ryan and his awesomeness, haha!

[Tuwin]

When i am sexing i look for the patch of hair just above the furrow. If there isn't one i am inclined to say female.

Sorry if this isn't good enough for ya

 

[gbbgirl]

Like pubes? :?

 

[J.huff23]

gbbgirl-LOL!

Im trying to learn how to ventrally sex Ts. Im very good at sexing molts though! Easy stuff.
