Wow who cares if it's male or female...nice T!! One of many that are a fav of mine. (knows a certain someone who works in a pet store and know LOTS about T's) :}

I'd bet real money that is an ultimate male. I'd go get my money back, that little guy might only have days or weeks left to live, depending on when he molted. If a self proclaimed professional can't figure that out looking at it in person, I would be questioning they're level of experience. (IMHO).

I think without ventral shots of the palps or the front legs we aren't really able to say more about this T... :?

Hi,

are you sure that the P.murinus is a "girl"?

Looks like an adult male to me (size of legs, palps...).

Greetz
Joscha

Looks very male to me as well, long spindly legs, swollen palps, look like bulbs, and a faint glimpse of what looked to be hooks...

I could be wrong though since I happen to work in a Pet Store...lol

 

[SouthernStyle]

Im going to be taking IT to another store here in a couple to make sure it's one or the other...As soon as I know, We'll go from there...If it's a male, Ima be a pissed off camer

If not a mature male, Im willing to lay some money down that it is an immature male.

That wont do much good unless you have a shed to take to them. It certainly looks leggy like a male however a look at a shed would verify it

It's a mature male - no question about it. Look at its palps - you can tell from the rounded shape at the end that it is a mature male.

There is no constant sexual dimorphism prior to maturity with this species.

If the petstore told you that was a female, I'd say they know little to nothing about tarantulas and have been feeding you a load of bull.

I agree with becca. Males are very small (hence the juvie appearance) and its legs and palps just scream male. Just look for hooks. They are very small but Im pretty sure you'll find them if you look close enough.

 

[anderstd]

Where can I get a pair of those cool gloves?

 

[SouthernStyle]

It definatly is a male, and is no longer in my collection...I had a local breeder here in the state that deceided he wanted him for his own collection, not matured yet, but he's pretty close! AS FAR as that pet store goes, they were notified of the mishap and re-credited my account so that my next order will include a female....::grumbles::

 

[becca81]

not matured yet, but he's pretty close!

I don't think you understand. The male you posted is mature. There is no such things as having palpal emboli and being "pretty close" to maturity (unlike human males, who never quite make it past "pretty close" to maturity JK ).

If the "breeder" you gave him to doesn't know that he is mature, then he/she knows about as much as the petshop you bought him from.

Alright, The store that I bought this guy from was Exotic Pets in Las Vegas, the kat that runs the show (Ken) is a Reptile guy only (herpetologist pardon the spelling) and he Didnt know a DAMN THING about it being a male aparently when he sold it to me....just that he would pick the biggest one out of his store...Oh well though, Such is life...AT LEAST he credited it back to me though...

I've seen some reptiles come out of there. he knows more about making a buck than taking care of his critters then
