id say male as well, based of MY BEST GUESS at ventral sexing.... do the right thing and wait for a molt... or wait to find its tibial hooks . at that size , id imagine a males maturing molt to be one or 2 away
For what it's worth...
The night after I posted this thread my Chaco molted. Ultimate Male - Tibial hooks and Pedipalp boxing gloves. I was really hoping for a female because I wanted a long-term pet.
As I remember Amoeba questioned its age. I'm not sure if he felt it looked to old or young for it's age. I remember getting this T from patrick86 about this time last year. Today I'll check my PayPal account to veryify the date that I placed the order, just for everyone's FYI.
He went from this -
To this -
I guess you can take note and save my ventral shot of him for future reference. Thanks to Amoeba and everyone else for your help.

I almost forgot to add again --- I have two Kodak M1033's and one of them has a date stamp does not work.

The first picture that shows him on my hand was taken on Thursday, 02-02-2012. I found him already molted the next evening when I checked in on him.

sometimes the the size difference is a pretty good hint on gender i just used the abdomen because the abdomen are the first place you would usualy look because the abdomen is genraly bigger in females and the reason i mentioned the palps because the looked all bent up
