caribena versicolor - 3" DLS juvi - male?

Recently molted, but he kept the molt in his web tunnel too long to be able to sex the molt. I suspect male.
Looks male to me.
Thanks! That's what I was afraid of. I had an H. pulcripes hook out the same week. I had just bought him at as an unsexed juvenile at an expo and he only ate once before going into premolt and maturing with that molt. That makes 2 out of 3 of my T's male. Holding out hope that my D. pentaloris is a female. She looks to be in premolt, so hopefully I'll find out soon.

Sounds like a great reason to get a few more. 😁
