Aphonopelma seemanni DLS 5"

I'm pretty sure I'm looking at a female, but I'd love a second opinion.
Looks like a female, but this isn't the best pic for determining that. Needs to show the vent area (epigastric furrow) more clearly.

Thanks for the comment!
I know the angle isn't right, but I believe I could see a "slit" or "opening" for the spermacathae, which I caught in this picture. I will try to get a better, proper ventral picture later tonight.

It could well be a female, but when looking at the ventral side to determine gender it's important to see if there is a patch of epiandrous fusillae. I'll keep an eye out for another pic.
