After his molting, he actually has two alternate colors. Is that a mutation? Can I reproduce with him

It could be hermaphrodite because it has half a seminal vesicle

Gynandromorph! FRIGGIN AWESOME. This is your spider?!

Gynandromorph! FRIGGIN AWESOME. This is your spider?!

No, it's my friend's. I'm going to buy it.

 

[Teal]

No, it's my friend's. I'm going to buy it.

It won't be able to reproduce, I don't think. But it is an amazing specimen!

 

[Vanisher]

Very cool, those you dont see every day!

 

[paccen]

It won't be able to reproduce, I don't think. But it is an amazing specimen!

I wish it could give birth to many little spiders with the same pattern as it

Very cool, those you dont see every day!

Yes, it's really cool

 

[Vanisher]

It is basicly both a male and female! I have no clue if it can produce? Is one pedipalp thick and one thin? Has one leg hook and one not?

Because it is not yet adults, have no mating hooks, but it only half of the spermatophore. Androgyny is just speculation.

 

[Vanisher]

Ok! Thought it was adult. Extreamly cool!

 

[spookyvibes]

Such a beautiful tarantula! You’ll have to give us updates on it once you buy it

 

[Teal]

Wouldn't that be neat! But it is a random genetic mutation, unfortunately.

Could you get a photo of the spermathecae in the molt? I am very curious what it looks like!!

I DEMAND UPDATES. lol

 

[Zevil]

Amazingly cool. Following this thread.

no problem

I am sorry to tell you that he was sent to a player in southern China. So I can only get some photos, he is really charming, hope he can be a mother (father).

 

[MikeC]

Shame you missed out!

That’s one of coolest things I’ve seen.

 

[jrh3]

Just out of curiosity, since its both male and female could it reproduce on its own? This would be a nice study for science. And if possible would the mutant gene carry over genetically?

Bilateral gynandromorphs - half male, half female split evenly laterally - don't usually have complete sexual organs of either sex.

Gynandromorphs whose male/female split is more patchwork can theoretically have a full set of sexual organs... but being a gynandromorph does not automatically enable a creature to be parthenogenetic when its species normally needs some form of copulation with a mate to reproduce.

 

[Greasylake]

If this spider wasn't in China I'd have bought it myself...

 

[Ashlynn Rose]

Its name needs to be Harvey Dent. That's not negotiable.

 

[The Seraph]

Since the photos were not working for me I looked up what a tarantula gynadromorph is. So cool! Too bad that you could obtain it. Also, what is the lifespan of such a thing?

 

[Patherophis]

Very nice spider.
If anybody is interested, here You can find article about another case of gynandromorphy in P. murinus. Experimental part is quite nonsensial, but it has great pictures. In this case specimen matured having half of spermatheca and one normally developed bulbus. Later it molted again causing bulbus deformation.
