I have 3 subfusca spiderlings. I spent an hour taking pics of one before realizing it was missing a leg! Oh, well.....the pic's not the best, anyway, but worth posting, I think. Still getting used to the D70.....

Lyle,

I did believe mine was a girl because of his abdomen marking BEFORE this last molt. He only molted in my care once before and I could have sworn up and down that his white stripe got brighter and bigger. But I was wrong. :( Unfortunately he totally destroyed his previous molt, and before I even saw him in his new glory, I had removed the skin and couldn't believe what I saw (or didn't see). Then I was so distraught that I actually removed some of his decorations so that I could turn the cork bark he was sitting on to see him with my own eyes. And there he was! :eek:

How big is your Reglis, Lyle? Has she molted in your care yet? If so, were you able to sex her? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that she's a girl. ;)

I am not sure exactly how big he/she is because it hasn't come out of it's hide all the way yet. I would say between 5" - 6" though. At this size the black stipe on the abdomen has gone from dark black, to a very light grey. I have seen quite a few regalis's on this board that have very white markings though... I wonder at which size this occurs. I am sure the next molt will tell all.

Yes, it has molted in my care about 5 times, never being able to get the molt though until it was destroyed. I have raised it from a sling.

I am keeping my fingers crossed too!

It is too early to guess its sex. Just wait few molts.

I agree but its too small for that. At that size to 2'' legspan males and females look the same. When it will be 2-3'' than you can determine its sex with ornata.

i disagree with that i keep P ornata and its about 3.25" and i still cannot see any difference between male or female ill post a pic here of mine in a little while i also tried getting some input on this but it was basically a split decision. using all the pics here and on a few websites i still came up empty so maybe someone else will see this and have a better idea.
