Could you explain how you were able to make a guess at the sex of my 4 ornatas? They all look the same to me. I have read t his thread so I would appreciate a quote or just a description... I want to be able to see what you are seeing. How confident are you in your predictions? Thanks,

If I may, the assumption was made based on the post on the first page of this thread re: sexing by the folio's of pokies--May it be known-- there are serious limitations but this method can often work reliably as well to the trained eye or a breeder with a population for comparison. They may yet be too small to tell though. Good Luck!

With P. ornata it's not a folio sexing it's carapace sexing. Apparently (from a fairly knowledgable source) P. ornata males never develop the crisp clear marking across the carapace. Thus any with the crisp starburst pattern are automatically female. :D

As for how confident I am. Number 1 is definitely female the rest is sort of a toss up depending on size/instar of specimen.

Poecilotheria is my favourite genus I like them all and I want them all... :eek: :D

P.S: Hope you don't mind to post the pics here too...

Cheers, Drago!

they look like the tall plastic juice/animal food containers with a piece of styrofoam seperating the handle from the larger area.. making a snazzy hide is seconds. pretty smart!
