Picture examples

[Fuzzybums]

Hi! I'm having some trouble finding the resources i need. I'm currently trying to learn to sex my lsp tarantula. I know there is a whole forum with pictures that are high quality and detailed. But these are no use for me and i cant visually pick out what i need to look for. Most comments simply state male or female, but i would be so grateful to anyone who could politely describe or show me good or clear example for vent sexing. I've found good material for molt sexing, but not vents, yet. Having this information to practice would be so great. i know that i am looking for an extra pair of spinnerettes used by males. are these visible on the outside? Are they only visible under certain circumstance? Where are they located?

This is a good reference for genics. Males have that long fuscillae hair there that appears as a dark dot from not so close up. A few others do as well, but I couldn’t tell you which. Vent sexing is not my strong suit.

Just over 2" A. Geniculata - Please help sex

If there's anything in this pic that you would point to as something that helps you decide if it's female or male, i'd love to know - still learning to sex. Ty!

Thank you that is the exact kind of information i'm looking for! It's specifics that are hard to find mentioned. Can i ask you a specific question? About my recent attempt at sexing my T? I'm just not experienced enough to identify what i saw

Your best bet is to post it with the species and size in the link below, with a note of what you see. More peeps, and some much better than I, will see it. What I’ve noticed though is that it’s better to post those during the week as people check here less often on the weekends and it can get buried. Post it there and I’ll take a look (frowned upon to make separate threads for it), but molts are always going to be your best tool.

Epiandrous fusillae sexing (Not Molts)

there is no such thing.

What you want to look at is the epigastic furrow.

Read my response on this media post for a brief explanation of what you should be looking for when vent sexing T's, and a link to a page that does a better job of explaining it than I do:

I found these useful to learn:

He or She??? (for newbies)

For those interested this is how you tell the difference between a male & female tarantula using the molt. ( some people can tell the gender of some tarantulas by ventral sexing, this means they can tell the gender by just looking on the under side of a tarantula..... I can't yet lol) Go down...

Sexing Tarantulas Using Molts

For most tarantula keepers, females are where it’s at. It’s not that we don’t have love for their male counterparts. In fact, some male species like Phormictopus and Pamphobeteus are more colorful …

Thank you!

Someone else helping described these as accessory organs that are frequently mistaken for spermathe. I'm not sure where i picked up the wrong description i was just having a very hard time finding clear information when trying to figure this out initially.
