Thank you I think look back at them in person I can see how the area between the buck lungs tapers into more of a triangle shape so I think you might be right cheers for your help.

Sorry no, I weren't just looking at the book lungs themselves. I'm new to tarantulas and looking at their sex organs and trying to get a better understanding of key features when looking at them when not having a moult to go by. It is not easy though! Do you find it easier once they are more matured? I'm going to go watch more videos on sexing, I find it so interesting and would really like to learn. Thank you for your help and opinion.
Yes, the larger they are the more obvious it is....but you can only look at the sex organs(spermatheca) by examining a molt.....here we need to look for the most reliable external cues, and that would be the epigastic furrow. If I were to glance at anything else, it wouldn't be the lungs, it would be the positioning of the fangs.....not that that's reliable, just more so than the book lungs IME
