Sexing still isn't my strongest attribute but i think its female.

I do believe I see spermathecae starting to form, my bid is on female too.

I'm curious why you would take a picture of the ventral side instead of the inside of the molt, but I also agree that it looks female

@PidderPeets I didn't even notice that.

@Arachnophoric I've accidentally looked at molts the wrong way enough in my day that I know a flipped molt when I see one

@Bochelly What kinda of microscope are you using for this pic?

@PidderPeets I took multiple shots of the inside and the ventral was for someone who had asked for it, and for some reason the one shot of ventral had been the clearest! My phone is a brat and focusing it is a pain.

@Phormic28 no microscope unfortunately! A hand magnifying glass (which I honestly think didn't help much), a spare piece of plexiglass, and my desk lamp!
