help determine sex on Mexican Fireleg

Male or Female?
You are looking for the presence or absence of epiandrous fusillade. They look like little bristles or hair like structures between the book lungs. Sometimes they are obvious and other times not so much. If they are present then male, absent then female. A good guide can be found on this website among others:

i also think female. but im not a expert.
my method is if the part between upper book lungs looks like this: I I - male +dark patch of belly button, / \ - female, also the shape of book lungs and butt is a bit different.

if you get a molt, it should have a little flap where the 'girly' bits are.
