Sexual Dimorphism In A Avic?

[babiephish]

Is there any other subtle ways A Avics display their sex? I believe I saw somewhere that males are more "leggy" than females, but I could be wrong. Just wondering since I can't really get a good luck at my 4" A Avic's underside and wanted to see if there were any ways I could get a hint

Leggy and much smaller. I believe this is the majority case of tarantulas, not just Avicularia avicularia.

Wait till next molt, and check it.

Yeah she just molted a month and a half ago and the abdomen was destroyed by the time I noticed (she did it overnight) so oh well I guess we’ll see whenever she molts again, but I’d guess it’d be a long while

For A. avic not that I'm aware of, for other Avics, such variegata and versicolor - they both are

Dimorphism will only show once the male has matured, prior to a male's maturity it would look pretty much the same as a female.

They're only dimorphic as mature specimens (as is the case with the vast majority of species), immature specimens are practically identical so they only ways you're sexing it are ventrally or with a moult.
