See I thought they would be bigger if female but SO said he thought the bobbley bits where female so to ask coz we couldn't decide. Thank you NMTs coz we would have still been debating it till Barrel moulted again 🤣

The absence of any kind of uterus externus (flap) is a good indicator of male, too. He'll be a handsome guy, though - adult male A. seemanni are awesome!
