I'm guessing male,,, but I'm just learning this part.
wait for the pro's

It looks male just from the vent, but the stocky nature of the spider and the size makes me think female.

My vote is for female, but just barely.

That makes me think even more male Well, the males don't get much larger than this. So you'll know one way or another with the next molt.

Sorry man. I suck at vent sexing. I you held a gun to my head and made me pick I'd say male though.

Any idea how long till it molts next?

 

[johnny quango]

Looks male to me aswell

 

[Thistles]

Here's my boy's furrow for comparison. This is molt sexed 100% male

I don't have a pic of the girls, for some reason. I'll see if I can find one... I know I took a pic before.

Edit: found one of a juvie female I used to have:

See how much darker/denser the male is?

 

[14pokies]

Thanks everyone.. I just got him to some friend's of mine that have bred G.pulchra before and they are positive it is male as well. Luckily I got him at a great price and left there place with a 7-1/2 female stirmi that I have been eyeballing for a few days now. He will be bred with there females as soon as he matures. It was a Win Win for every one!

I'll post some pics of my new beast when I get some time tomorrow..

Thanks again everyone I really do appreciate the help you guys give me when I need it..

@Trenor I figure you were pretty good to hit up because you work with a decent amount of N/W terrestrials unless I have that completely confused also.. It's possible I have been way too busy to think straight.. Honestly when I saw the T my gut said male but I wasn't really sure..

The seller tried convincing me other wise but it didn't matter either way.. Male pulchra for a female stirmi or female pulchra for a few female poecs from my other friend. It was gone as soon as I paid for it either way. Lol.

The seller said it had recently gone off feed and it looks to be in mid-heavy premolt.. Real brown with a huge abdomen.. I would say he is maybe penultimate or maybe two molts away from mature at most..

Absolutely! And the females furrow seems to protude out a little almost like a small bump. His furrow is completely flat.. Thanks for the comparison.. I really appreciate it!

Looks male from my angle, also the 4th pic posted shows the pedi palps and they appear to be larger than normal? do they look like that in person ie; wider/thicker/no even taper compare to other feet? That would indicate its a penultimate male.

 

[G. pulchra]

I just went downstairs and looked at my adults. It's definitely a male.

Deffinately a male I traded him off to a few friends that breed this species. They felt it was male from my pics but were insure. When they saw it in person they could immediately tell it is a male..

Good eye! I see what your saying about the tips of the palps.. I can't compare him to the picture because he is with my friends now so that he can make some beautiful baby's in the near future!

Thanks man! As soon as he molts he has a few dates lined up!

 

[cold blood]

yeah...that last pic just screams male.

I do have quite a few of them but I'm more often wrong than right when trying to vent sex Ts in general. It's got to the point i don't bother with sexing unless I have a molt.
