psalmopeous cambridgi

Please sex
Infact scrap that...

looking on PC it seems female. The darkness above the furrow threw me off on the phone aha
 
@Shampain Usually the males top lungs are closer together and in between them will be a darker area above the furrow.

Females lungs are usually further apart and lighter in the middle. There is noticeable kind of lips here too. .

You can never be 100% acc while ventral as many species have characteristics of males in other species as females(such as dark area bove furrow in Brachypelmas) and can be confusing.

For 100% need to have a look at the exuviae and examine the spermathacae
 
@KezyGLA I only have one confirmed female, all the rest are unknown, haha my OBT won't give up its moults, three moults buried so far lol! I've saved that info in my notes, thanks mate :)
 
My molts for this species are never any good! I have 16 and I don't know the sex of any of them. This one was out wandering today.They are approximately 3 inches.
