Hey all, I posted here before with pictures asking for help regarding the sex of my T, and I’m back now with a larger molt. If anyone could please help me figure out what they are, I would appreciate it; as well as if you could point out how you came to that conclusion.
Thank you so much
It sure looks to me like the beige nub is on top of a flap. I think the molt has been worked so much that the darker color showing through is making it look different than normal, but I'm leaning towards female on this one.
@lilgreenleaf - are you able to slide a piece of paper behind that little nub sticking up between the forward book lungs?

agreed. and it shocks me, because it seems quite common. Dripping wet, mangled..... I think people try to do too much. My molt photos are always so basic, and have all one is looking for

I did the best I could with what I have. My T is notorious for chewing up the molts and it’s rather dry where I live so the only way to unfold it was by wetting it. If there’s tips I can have in a more positive way I’ll definitely take them, thank you

Nothing said was meant as a personal attack, so please don't take it that way. There are some great tips for preparing a molt for sexing in this thread -Pic Tips.
Were you able to see if you could slide a little piece of paper behind that structure above the furrow?
I live in San Diego which has ridiculously low humidity. Wetting is good, just less, I use a small mist bottle, 1 spritz at a time and some long round head pins. It takes way less to moisten a molt than 1 imagines.
You are doing fine, so now see if you can get a piece of paper under that little beige nub
