1 inch is tough. Do I see little spermathecae budding out there? I don't think you're going to be able to be sure this molt, one way or the other.

@Dovey Yeah I figured it would be difficult to tell at this size. Thought I would try anyway though since it will likely be a long while until it's next molt.

So what do your instincts tell you?

I'm leaning toward female but it could just be wishful thinking.

I see this possibility of spermaticae in this photograph, but not in the other one you provide. What looks like budding "parts" could just be "the lay of the land." I think you're going to have to wait.

As my old Professor used to say:

Patience is a virtue, find it if you can: seldom in a woman, never in a man!
