    Eloise sounds kinda charming.

    She’s a bit bulkier than a male judging from the photo. Ofc it could also be true for some males but it was a solid guess ngl. She’s gorgeous tho.

      Nice name suggestion!

      As far as I’m aware, males get the lanky look after they reach maturity and molt for the last time, since feeding stops being a priority for them; pedipalps also change and thats an sure sign of a mature male T. I think they are indistinguishable before that?

      This one was actually pretty skinny when that pic was taken since she had recently molted . So far all of my mature T’s have turned out to be females so… Maybe I don’t have keen eyes ti spot the males.
