Female gbb after molt

Umm.. lol? Roach fell on her. Hate when dubias play dead.

That gbb looks so young how do you know the sex already? Just asking because I don't understand im kinda new at this and am wondering if its really so easy to tell so early in a slings life.

 

[psohn703]

Shes about 4 maybe 4.5 inches. I molt sexed. They look nothing like that when they are slings. Im actually planning on pairing her up in a few weeks.

Heterothele vilosella dropped this morning. =)

 

[Storm76]

Question: That A. seemanni there has red stripes on the patella? Never seen one like that before...

 

[psohn703]

Yea I found that kinda wierd too but I just kept it labeled as what I got it as. Unfortunately she passed away a few days ago, maybe about a week after her molt. =(. Any ideas on what she really could have been?

I'm tempted to say E. pulcherrimaklaasi actually, but since pictures can be deceiving...you know how it is. I just can't remember any other T currently with that specific coloration. Was her carapace covered in greenish metallic hairs?

What is the other species frequently confused with that 'look-alike' group? Thrixopelma pruriens?

T. pruriens is way more greenish overall, though. And no red stripes on patella Certainly doesn't look like Homoeomma spp, nor T. cyaneolum IMO either. I'd go with pulcherrimaklaasi, possible young one (what was the size of that one btw?)

 

[psohn703]

She was about 4" dsl and her carapace was black with a slight blue hue.
