Molt-sexed female, sold as Thrixopelma sp “Cajamarca”

Questioning sp; could this be a Homoeomma sp blue? Approx 3.5” DLS.

Edited to add: she molted last nights, drop of lymph is on her back, not water. There’s no other indication of an issue post-molt, she’s walking around just fine, no obvious tears or injuries.
if they is a fresh molted female, you should have a exuvia with a spermathecae. how does this spermathecae looks like?

It’s female. I double checked. My question is about species, not the sex of the tarantula. I’m sorry if it wasn’t clear.

your question was clear and i understand it very well.
in some cases a spermathecae is a good feature to distinguish two species, and thats the fact here (sp BLUE vs sp CAJAMARCA).

Oh! I didn’t realize that! Shoot, no, I don’t have it any more. After I verified again the sex, I tossed it. I’ll keep it next time, and ask for help here. Thank you for this new knowledge!
