How to sex a Trantula

[Biggz69]

I was wondering how to tell what sex my Rose Haired Trantula is ?
Thanx Biggz:cool:

Once your tarantula has completed it's final shed, usually a year or so in males, the male will have an obvious hook on the inside of each 1st leg. I haven't kept spiders for a long time but from what I remember this indicator applies to most species. Males are generally smaller than females as well.

If i remember well too .. a males abdomen is considerably smaller than the females ..

Phil -- thanx for your help !! i think it's a female she is pretty big .
I was interested in buy another breed of Trantula besides the "Rosehaired" what would you suggest and where can i get them ? I live in Minnesota there are a couple of shops locally but i don't really trust them w/that stuff

Thanx Again Phil , Marcus aka :Biggz
