Freshly molted (was 3inch) L parahybana

Cant yet grab the molt (shes laying on it) anyone able to sex it this way?
You need to wait a bit after it molts for ventral sexing. Epiandrous fusillae are more difficult to spot immediately after a molt. Wait about a week and take another photo.

Oh well i did not know that, I was posting this impatiently as I cannot sex it without a molt, and it was laying on the molt still.I have now collected and sexed this specimen, and to my great dismay, he is a male.
