p.ornata dorsal sexing

[ChaelP]

Ive read somewhere in here that p.ornata si the easiest to sex dorsally. And i know molt or even ventral sexing is more reliable, but if given only a dorsal pic. Can any expert sex this p.ornata accurately? its about 4inch legspan. thanks

Looks male to me, but I am not great with Poecs.

@Venom1080 should be able to help out

I would have said female - but I'm not good at this either

Oh man, pressure..

It's my understanding that if the pattern is very dark and obvious on the carapace after 3", it's a female. So that's what I'm going with.

I'm leaning female too. At 4 inch dls my male had none of the dark markings left on its carapace.

@advan made this thread which I found really helpful when sexing mine.
