Plesiopelma sp. boliva 3/4 inch

I’m really not sure but I’m leaning towards accessory organs and gonopore, but feel free to correct me.
Great detail btw. There is something truly satisfying about sexing small molts, no matter what sex it ends up being. Just the satisfaction of opening up a small molt and getting some detail out of it is a reward :rofl:

It really is! It’s really difficult to get them opened and just that is a feat. I’m too impatient to wait until they are big so I’ve gotten good at it. It helps when they are dwarf/small species too. There’s usually something there to see. Where bigger species there’s nothing yet or it’s too small to see even with a microscope. Like Grammostola sp. I usually wait until 1.5 inch.

Indeed! My smallest so far has been this one, and it has been so satisfying to find something in there!
