looks great, mine had a bad molt after it was 3 inches. It barely survived.

How can you tell? Are ornata sexually dimorphic? If so, you'd think that it wouldn't be obvious until the spider was bigger. :?

give it another two molts and you should be able to tell ventrally if you dont get a intact molt, if not using the folio stirpe can sometimes be very decieving.

I did not use the folio stripe, in my experience male P.ornata never develope the markings on the carapace that the females do.
