H. namaquensis - male or too young/small to tell?
First, we're looking at the wrong side of the molt in this pic - we need to see the inside of the abdomen, between the forward set of book lungs. Second, you can sex small specimens, but you often need a microscope to do so, as the naked eye and our phone cameras don't provide strong enough magnification.
