Sexing my Avicularia geroldi

[Lostkat]

My gorgeous little Avicularia geroldi moulted today. I was a little concerned as he moulted completely upright, but he got though it fine and is currently in hidey mode.

Anyway, his skin is in excellent condition, as I managed to dry it out with a cotton wool bud stuffed inside it.

I've just had a look and thought he might be a boy, however my boyfriend thinks that it might be female. We're really not sure. Can anyone else help??

how big is it? it looks male but if its still small then it could just be that the pocket just hasn't formed yet.

I tried to reply to this earlier but it got eaten it yet another database snafu...

That is by all signs a male. It's not just that it looks like spermathecae haven't formed yet, it doesn't even look like there's anything more at the furrow than an indentation. If you take a shot of the external anatomy, it will probably show no signs of female genitalia either.

Male, IMO

How big is it? Get power-feeding it! I've a female that's in pre-moult at the moment. She's only got seven legs
