The question I hate to answer most about tarantulas. Jungle Bob, is that a male or a female? I could throw an answer out but it's probably 50 50 just by looking at the it. It's extremely difficult to tell the difference between tarantula genders just by looking at the animal.
Certainly the length of the pedipalps, which are the two extensions in between the legs, sometimes in certain species might be an indicator but really isn't. You could look at the end of those pedipalps and in the mating season the males will have a little bulbous nature to them. They use those to grab onto the female during mating. So during mating season you might see a little extension on those pedipalps. That's a good indicator.
If you have two next to each other that might have been born the same time, one might be larger than the other, that could be an indicator. But none of them really are 100 percent when you're looking at the animal so it's a very difficult thing for the novice or even the intermediary keeper or pet store owner for sure, to understand which gender that tarantula is.
The only way to really do it is to have someone who's in the know, who has a molt. Tarantulas have an exoskeleton. When they get bigger they molt. That skin comes off. It's a perfect replica of the animal. And it's actually a better indicator from a sex point of view because you can see the female sex organs in the molt. You have to wet them, you have to stretch them out a little bit and sometimes you have to actually get a microscope and look really close to try to see where the female parts of the animal is.
So for the untrained eye you're not going to guess. It's 50 50. But the trained eye can be 100 percent if you have a molt in your possession. That's the only way you're really going to know. If you see of them mate, then you can be pretty sure which one's which but then you have to have two and you have to witness that type of event.
So do the best you can. Go to an experienced shop or experienced tarantula breeder if you want to know the difference. Because they have a better chance of telling you. And then you kind of wait and see what you get.
Like a box of chocolates. You'll see what you get when they grow up. You'll see if you have a male or female. Hopefully you'll have a female because they're much more lived than their male counterparts. - Навчання та стиль
Also.... males do not develop bulbous pedipalps until they mature... not during the "mating season".
Chill this guy dosnt know anything about Ts he says to use a sponge as a water dish while sponges can carry deadly bacteria for your T
Well, they don't mate till they're mature, I think he meant sexually mature ones.
@@renatoaguilarealtor yeah this guy gives really bad advice
This is just how to tell a mature male from a female. Not how to identify an immature male.
If you guys want accurate information please visit one of the many tarantula forums instead of using these videos as references. Yes... some of the information is accurate.. but it is much better to use a reliable source and avoid improper husbandry.
Improper husbandry 😂
Um, males don't use the bulbous tips of the pedipalps to grasp on to the female. That's where the sperm is stored which they insert into the female to deposit the sperm. And what about the tibial spurs that are present on mature males of many species of tarantulas?
I Think this guy is a faker
Normal people dont constantly handle their tarantulas
is a GIANT WHITE KNEE tarantula safe and a good set up for it please
Depends on the species. Male A. chalcodes, for example, have hooks on their front legs (not the pedipalps) that are completely absent in females.
I was trying to breed my tarantulas and my female tarantula stella attacker the male rock he bit her in self defence and almost killer her how do i prevent female spider from attacking so they dont die?
Not once did you mentioned the size difference of the abdomen. Males have smaller abdomen, almost like a oval shape to them. Females have larger abdomen.
Simple is that. And males have hooks under the front legs.
There, was it really that hard to explain that?
not all males have spurs.
So much misinformation lol.
does anyone know of a good care sheet for a Euathlus sp. red p.s i live in England and is around 21 - 30c ok temp?
Easy to keep and yes, low 20s. Don't over water.
Jungle bob I need help!!!!
I think that my tarantula is dead and I don't know he/she is upright didn't make a nest or burrow like a molting one and is just SLOWLY moving and I don't know what to do!!!!
Did it die?
I have another video for you do.What happens when a full health tarantula bites you....and your elergic?
Sagan Rohrer They wont bite you unless they feel threaten and they will stand on there back legs and lift their front legs and fangs to try to look scary
I have a pink toe or is a goilath pink toe but my not sure if it good if my tarantula is not moiting seeds I got he/she/they 😅
At a reptile convention but I just name he Jeremy and not eat the mealworms or Superworms or crickets..or the silverfish?wait is that supposed be in there..
One of my rose hair tarantulas is female
Apparently the one I got from a pet store was male so I can pair them
i've hade a rose hair for 4 years, "her" name is harriet. i just got three more from the spca because no one else was going to adopt them and i couldn't say no to such lovley and well behaved tarantulas. i was told they are rose hairs, and it was double checked by a spider expert. my question is, harriet looks much diffrent from the tree tarantulas that i just adopted. she looks like the rose hair at 1:52 but the other three are dark brown with light furry hairs. is that because they are diffrent genders or maybe they're actully diffrent species? if so how could i find out what species they really are?
There are 2 different species of "rose hairs". G. Porteri and g. Rosea. They vary slightly in color. But perhaps they're Honduran curly hairs?
how did i get here?
how to tame tarantulas
My rose hair is female :)
I hope she lives a long life
Thanks! xx
They said mine is a female but my mom says its a male because its nicer
Nice but I hate rose hairs they r beautiful but a person said all they do is sit and do nothing all day
The Jumping Spider my Rose Hair climbs around, she even digs the dirt from under her log. Constantly moving. However, every spider has its own personality.
Can't you see a female epigyne during one of the molts?
Thanks
what about the two hooks on the meal tarantula. does a female tarantula have hooks to
No, they don't :)
No females don't only males do. They use to hooks to restrain the females during mating
What species of T. is the one at 1:55?
Chilean rose hair or Grammostola Porteri
when is mating season
Sadie padon Usually in the fall.
When they fall in love.
Hi
Mines look like the one in the beginning, idek if it's full grown nor the gender
Can i keep more than one tarantula in the same place when they are growing?
it depends on the type. the pinktoed tarantula can be in groups, but some might eat eachother
Tricia Le That is absolutely wrong. There are several species that can be kept communally but A. avic is not one of them.
Louis Pecci No you can not. There are several species that can be kept communally but certainly not A. avic.
No
That rosehair is attribute
I thought of something else when he said "you have to wet them.. you have to stretch them out a little bit".😂
me too lmao
Classy.
i have 3 one is a rose hair and it is a femail i have a curly hair it is a femail and i have a mexican red nee all of my taranchulas are girls
I just got one today for Christmas and I really want a female
They arny animals their arachnid s
Don't you wait in till they molt and if a female it will have a flap
I want a tarantula.
Well done on the click bate👏👏
Well, that wasn't helpful! Thanks for SHOWING us what to look for in the female parts.
flap in the middle of the moult- female
otherwise,male
Flap in the middle of the moult or otherwise inconclusive and wait until next moult.
Just look for hooks on the pedipalps. Males have hooks, females dont.
Well, not always correct. Males have longer legs in many species. With cobalt blues, females are very blue in most cases! I can tell Cobalt blue females from males by the time they are 1 year old. Even earlier with some. Rarely are males really blue!
I mean adorable
Yeah, don't listen to someone who says a sponge is better than a water dish.
now i know how to tell if there males or females
Tibial spurs!!!
yay mine is a female
so basically you didnt answer the question bob
Isnt here forgetting that male taratulas have tibial hooks on their legs?
Are males better than females? What's the difference?
+G Mulcahy Females live substantially longer
😩
So they are like Dwarfs
I’m here for this.
My fire leg is a male I think
What does he mean that females are much more lived?
Adrian1n0nlyXX Female tarantulas tend to live much longer than males.... one part of this video that is actually accurate. Not necessarily four times as long.
Aha .. Not clear at all
Nope
He never told us how to tell.
El rey Soften the moult in soapy water, unwrap the abdomen then the spot you want to look at is between the top set of booklungs. Hope this helps.
Also females tend to be bigger than males
This is nonsense.. So basically theres no definite answer to know if the tarantulas are male or female?
Shit 5th :(
So is the blond
do male tarantula lay eggs
Anthony Bucat
Duh.
No the females do that
Why wold a male lay an egg bruh??
209 th
My tarantula male killed my female tarantula because my male tarantula was very angry
Twinkle Boy Corsimo
Pour a 40oz in her memory, rip.
Really? I've never heard of that happening
Why the f am I here
Omg , :(
Second
Im A man
Great way to *not* answer a question! State the obvious for two minutes and get your views with trickery. I will never watch another of your videos.
What if I have two gay tarantulas????
Publish your findings and make money.
I hear this guy gives false info
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Wow. That was a waste of time!!!
First!
This guy definitely owns a pet store with how much misinformation there is in this video.
Chocolates don't grow up 🤔
There are only two genders!
Well this was a waste of time... Thanks for nothing
Don't watch then
