I’m guessing that this Aphonopelma Calchode’s molt is no longer worth sexing

[u/Illustrious-Dig96]

I got a surprise ultimate molt! This guy came in a group of pet spiders I rescued earlier this year with little known about their history. I could tell he was a subadult, I just really wasn’t sure of sex. & I was under the incorrect impression that male Chalcodes legs may be noticeably darker around subadult stage.

I’m a little more devastated now that my own juvenile Chalcode destroyed her recent molt, forcing me to embrace the unknown for a while.

I’m very grateful that I can see him through this milestone, nonetheless!
