Genus Poecilotheria

[manville]

Poecilotheria regalis (Juvenil female(?) ~3,5"/8cm, post molt)

Poecilotheria fasciata (Adult female)

 

[shogun804]

one of my newest editions P fasciata about .75-1" .

 

[Swifty]

I think it is male.

With all due respect, I'd have to disagree. Of course it is hard to sex spiders 100% from a photo.

 

[Michael Jacobi]

As Swifty wrote, this whole sexing by photo thing is tenuous at best, but that spider is most likely female. Why not just send a molt to someone who is experienced and will give you an accurate sexing for free? Swifty does it. I do it. [http://www.spidershoppe.com/sexing.html]
