I don't know, I don't see any uterus externus. Am I just missing it? This species has more tubed shaped spermathecae and a very prominent uterus externus. Are you certain that these are not male organs?

@Vanessa I can’t identify it for sure either, and the organs on my specimen look so far apart compared to the photo of cyanognathus that you shared. I’ll see if I can get any more decisive images.

@WolfSoon Sorry to be a bit of a bummer, but I would hate for you to maybe turn down a female thinking you already have one. I've been there and it sucks.

@Vanessa No worries at all! I was actually kind of hoping for a male so I could do a loan and raise some more slings, so either way it’s good to know.

@MrGhostMantis Aw no, don’t beat yourself up! I posted this ‘cos it seemed like a tough one and we’re all still learning
And it could be a girl

@Vanessa It's pretty small. Would male accessory organs be so prominent at 2.5"?

For comparison, my 3" female E. murinus:
