P.metallica UM?

bought as female turns out to be male? i know that picture is shitty but if you can see small red dot(not the fangs)... looks like UM? any other opinions except that every school has its price :D
@tax molt was destroyed beyond recognition :D ventral and dorsal look suggest its male, without doubt.
thing is that i couldnt see him properly last nite, but i think that i can see emboli..
 
@rraspovic986 Just click reply, and don't dorsally sex unless it's a P. ornata. That's a great way to incorrectly sex a spider. Gotcha. I'm waiting for a couple of my metallicas to molt so I can sex them.
 
@rraspovic986 Yes, there is a difference, but its too unreliable to make sure. I've seen many "females" that were subadult males labeled due to folio stripe sexing.
 
@Toxoderidae i agree, but in this case i really doubt that there is slight chance to be female :D i'll try to get some better pics, and post it here. especially of emboli (if there is any)
