Caught one of my B. klaasi juveniles molting and got a decent view of the abdomen. Wanted to confirm the sex. It looks female to me, but would appreciate someone with more experience confirming. Tried to get the molt after it had recovered but the molt was shredded.
Looks like there's a dense patch of setae just anterior of the epigastric furrow (the slit between the front pair of book lungs), which would be the epiandrous fusillae (male parts). As mentioned, after hardening for a few days, they should darken up and be easier to see.
