Mature?

[pokeylucky7]

I just had an A. Versicolor molt. He/She now has "its" adult colors and is maybe 4.5 inches . I was just wondering how do I know for a fact that it is mature and could be bred? Also I don't know how to tell the gender. I know that looking under them at the little pocket thing is one way to tell, but I don't know what I'm looking for. I would really love to be able to tell myself without relying on others. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

post a picture of the inside of the molt the area where the book lungs show ps look for hooks if its a male they will be on the first set of legs

The best way to tell is by looking at the shed exuvia. Jon3800 on YouTube has a great video about it, "How To Sex Scorpions and Tarantulas."

Do A. Versicolor MM have tibial hooks? I know some species lack them. Also I will be sure to check that video out. I am just confused on how to be sure a female is mature.

Dang iv answered this question twice today. Anyway females are mature at 60% their adult size.
