How big is it? I've had to use a microscope to sex Phormingochilus that are 2.5-3" DLS, sometimes larger - they have tiny spermathecae until they get close to adult size. That said, I believe I see spermathecae, so this would be a female.

Yes, I can see! Thanks for explaining. I've asked about this molt on polish group and they said female too, but I coudn't understand how is it possible to be female... It's max size 1 inch, not so big. Unfortunately I broke the molt so can't check it again but I will wait for the next one to get sure. Thaaanks!!!

That's the other thing about them that makes sexing tricky - their exuvia are very thin and fragile. The good thing is they grow fast so you'll have a bigger molt to inspect soon.
