Thrixopelma ockerti - 2.5" female

@BobBarley That's exactly what I thought too. The moult was in such poor shape that I was sure that there was no way I would be able to sex her. Then I took this photo and was surprised at how pronounced it was.
I wish all of them were this easy at this size.
 
@VanessaS Hah, indeed, that'd make things much easier. I had a 2" LP molt many times, each time confirming male... until its most recent molt which was definitely 100% female... lol.
