Almost looks like there might be a furrow... would be better off if you sexed the molt...

i say male too, the general area is too narrow and small. the furrow barely shows and i think i see fusillae from the color difference (grey patch surrounded by purple/blue)

Syndicate: notice the fangs are red, it just molted, probably unable to bite and not as aggressive/defensive post molt

Hard to tell but....

The underside is very hard to tell however I had a mature male and he didn't get that big before he molted mature. His mature size was about 6-7". The molt before his maturing molt he was only 4". How big is yours in the photo??

No comment on the sex, but I would personally advise against holding one so soon from molting...

Well he is a very nice looking T you are lucky that you can manage to hold such an agressive T without any problems.

I dont believe it ither.... its only calm because it has no energy post molt to fight with you. I would not make holding that guy a regular practice. The venom is possible stronger then you are ready for.

Hey Ryan,
My female is VERY docile.....but it looks pre molt. I will see in a few months !

I moved her to a larger cage today and it "froze" like stick insect. I thought for sure it would show some aggresion...not yet though !

Nice she looks like maybe premolt. I have had a few that were "calm" most of the time. But they snap out of it at the weirdest times and jump start the heart lol.

I just received a 2" one for free :) Ill post pics my batteries are charging atm. As far as aggression though I held mine with little problems, VERY fast. But was calm after about a minute of holding. After holding my Suspinipes I dont think any "non poisonous" invert really scares me lol..
