"Juvenile" is fairly speculative. What size are they?

Pretty sure, it's female. But as @Vanessa said, always provide the size of the T/moult.

Sorry, I didn't know! Cephalothorax + abdomen is about 2 cm. Is there a way to attach more pictures to a post? I managed to take a better image today which may be helpful.

@closerlook No worries. Thanks for the size, but you want to use the diagonal leg span as this is the measurement that is commonly used here.

And you need to make a new gallery post and then you can insert that picture in a comment here (with the help of that little camera button).

@Thekla Thank you. Diagonal leg span of the molt is 6 cm.

And here is the new picture:
