ventral sexing thread

It would be extremely useful if someone would volunteer to organize the best photos here into a zip file or something that we can post here or on the ATS website, with the photos organized alphabetically by genus name.

I'd volunteer to do it myself, but I'm currently working on five articles simultaneously, so I'm a bit busy with ATS stuff. Perhaps some of you that have expressed interest in helping the ATS would step up to the plate?

At this point the thread is getting too long to be useful, but man there are some great shots in there!

I agree there should be a thread with good ventral shots. That have already been confirmed by molts. I don't think this was suppose to be a please sex my T post. I wish I was more computer literate or I would step up to the plate and try to help.

Any thoughts on the sex here? Its a recently acquired N. chromatus...sorry if the pic seems fuzzy. I'm thinking it may be male...although I hope i'm wrong.

110% male.
When he matures keep me in mind I have a lady.

Quite agree - this is a great thread, but it's getting decidedly murky. Crisp, clear pics and explanations are needed - perhaps all the 'help requested' posts can be removed?

I appreciate this thread. Since many of us noobs are wanting small T's sexed it would be nice if some of the pics are of very young tarantulas. Also if some experienced keeper could take a pic and diagram what they are looking at...point out what parts are what I think it would help me and maybe others.
thanks ya'll

5" B. smithi...just molted about a week ago in previous owners care so i cant sex the molt and its hair is very dense. I cant even see the furrow with the naked eye. Best pic i could get. Ill take random stabs at this one. Really hoping for female though.

P.metallica: looks male

P. metallica: looks female

A.versicolor: not sure, male?

This is an exuvium from a recently molted B. smithi. I'm not seeing a flap, so i'm thinking its male. Can anyone tell me i'm wrong?

Talkenlate04 · Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2009 3:34 am

Nope you are right.

spiderfield · Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2009 6:11 am

Well, the good news is i'm getting better at this sexing business. Thanks for your help!

I see males too.
It's not so bad, your chances of getting something back via 50/50 deals are increased.

This is true.

Thank you both for helping with the verification!

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the sex of my 3 1/4" B. boehmei from these pictures I took. They are not the best pics but they might be good enuff for someone to tell the difference.

Patrick · Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 7:43 pm

Now I'm not very good at this, specially with this species but I'm thinking it's a female.
