G. aureostriata - Microscope sexing - Help

[becca81]

I'm fairly sure that this G. aureostriata is male. It was about 1.5" or so before the molt and I haven't been able to properly measure it since.

On July 22, I posted (http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=48422&highlight=aureostriata) these pictures:

What do you think? Definite male? I usually wouldn't be so interested, but I also have a female and I'd like to be able to control their growth a bit if I think I may have a future breeding pair.

Yeah, I'm thinking it is male like you are Becca. I would think at the size it is and under the scope you should find the pocket/flap pretty easy. I'm thinking the 2 little protrusions you are seeing in there are for releasing sperm...

But then I'm wrong 50% if the time

If Becca's a man get my cape and candles and call me Liberace :eek:.
