Hi guys,

Not sure if my technic is accurate but the sexual dimorphism that is observed cleverly will be the chela not closed hermetic in male specimen while female seems to be the opposite. Some photos that i took for your reference.

So sorry but this would be the clearest i could get since the female do not like to be disturb even a slightest....as you know the chela will always remain open in their agitated mode... Smile

Thread shifted Smile

From the clear shots you have provided, I can imagine how the female's chela will fit nicely when it's closed in the relax position.

Thanks for sharing!
