1" Brachypelma Albiceps

This is a fresh molt from my brachypelma albiceps. The molt measures 1" dls. Possible female? I'll have to wait a whole year for another molt to confirm
I'm thinking these are male accessory organs with a gonopore in between, actually.

I had to go way back into the archives to find an example of similar size, but you can see here that spermathecae are more like 2 humps next to each other with no real space in between:

Ah, dang. I knew that could be a pretty big possibility. I’ll wait for next years molt to take another look XD this one doesn’t eat frequently or molt frequently
