Picture. Curious, can anyone tell male or female from this?

No. The only sure way of sexing a T is to wet and gently pull open the abdominal part of the moult and take a picture between the book lungs. Or for an educated guess you can post a clear photo of the tarantula’s underbelly. This must be done in the appropriate sexing gallery.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Any thoughts on the molt still being stuck to its abdomen? Do I give it a few more days to see if it will come off by itself? Need some expert advice on this!

If it's stuck to the abdomen you'll need to gently moisten it with a syringe that you can cheaply get at the grocery store and use the water to help pull the moult off carefully. With little spiderlings you can use wet paper towels or Q-tips but with big sub-adults/adults you need more water for the job so the syringe is the best way to administer it. Where on the abdomen is it stuck? Not over any of the lungs, hopefully???

Not 100% sure. Gonna try and get a better look tonight. Looks like maybe around its spinnerets.

Once you get the molt, here are instructions for how and where to submit a request to help with sexing.

So it molted just fine, but now the molt seems like its stuck to its abdomen. Its doing a lot of moving around in its enclosure. Almost like its trying to get it to peel off the rest of the way. Thought?

Is it upright walking around dragging the abdomen?

Post up some pics is you can.
