They are still very small, but I'm leaning towards male. I would continue to check as they get larger.

At this small size, the spermathecae can look a lot like male accessory organs. This was my female Tliltocatl albopilosum at about the same size:

Do you guys see what I'm seeing? I know it's very small (moult about 1"), but it was the first...

And this was her 2 moults later:

My juvenile female B. albopilosum moulted 2 days ago. Moult is 2 1/4", she's about 2 3/4" now. :)

So, I'd definitely wait until (s)he's bigger to be absolutely sure, but I wouldn't give hope up just yet either.

Thank you, I will continue checking molts! I was just curious if anything could be told from the molt already.
