I bought a tarantula from Petco. I went in to look around and they still had 6 of the B. smithi's from their special awhile back, although a bit larger, for 39.99. I looked through all six very carefully(to the great irritation of the petco clerk) and found one that looks female. Out of the six spiders four had very recognizable epiandrous fusillae and two were indeterminate to my best inspection efforts. I picked the one that I felt looked most feminine based on secondary traits. Here he/she is still in the kritter keeper they gave me. its about 3" - 3.5". I added a waterdish and will change up the enclosure to something more suitable later tonight so there is no need to tell me about the innappropriate substrate as it will be changed in a few hours to good old peat.
