MY FIRST FEMALE!!! (pictures)

[TomM]

All of my T's were unsexed (all are between 1/3" - 2.75") until now! My 1.5" Aphonopelma hentzi finally molted tonight and the molt is showing female! I missed the actual flip and molting but I am extremely happy with the outcome. Well anyway, here are some pictures:

Heavy pre-molt:

The whole exuvia (arrows and circled area show spermathecae):

Zoomed in on the spermathecae:

And the final product, just after the molt (which is still in the picture):

Just thought I'd share the good news. I'm just happy that I finally have a T that's not 0.0.X. (Did I mention I was happy?!)

My B. smithi- currently flipped now- I feel like it took forever to get to this point! I can't wait till morning. I just posted pics for epiandrous fusillae sexing. I'm so excited, either way I'm sure it will be gorgeous when it's done!
