How to sex a tarantula

[OttawaChris]

For those of you looking for how to accurately sex a tarantula... I have posted some links here for you to check out. These guys have gone through the effort to show you all this so that the rest of us dont have to :D


Darren at GoldenPhoenixExotica went through painstaking detail in a tutorial for sexing tarantulas here

Also... Rick West (THE tarantula guru himself) has a good section on it as well

Just thought I would move this up since the sexing issue has been raised again... this would be a good one to make sticky because its probably the most FAQ about tarantulas.
