I'll stick to Chula for handling, but I would love to get a Gooty Sapphire as a display spidey!

Sapphires are beautiful, would love to see one up close. We had a Goliath at the zoo too. That was one very scary old girl. She was privately owned by a keeper so we didn't have to care for her.

Trollbie; i can't tell from those angles if it is definitely a female. If you could take some pictures of the side profile of her front legs that would help. Males have a 'spike' on the inside of the front leg at the joint second from the body (highest point of the leg?) to help them keep the female at bay when mating. Males will also have a bulb at the tip if their pedipalps. which they normally keep tucked up. This will make their pedi[alps seem enlarged and big compared to a female.

Lastly, if your gal sheds and you take photos of the inside of her abdominal shed, you can sex them via the gonopore (guides online)

Congrats on your new lady

Of he very front legs? That's kinda hard since her other ones are always in he way lol

Best I got

I really want one... I could afford a sling, but then I wouldn't know the sex until later. And if I'm gonna drop that much money on a T, it better be a female so it lives a long time lol.

There's a guy who's storing his T collection at my local pet shop. He's got hundreds of them! A lot of them I wouldn't even try to go near... There's some big mean spiders out there haha. I'll respect those from a distance. But Chula is a cutie
