How good are you at sexing?

How good are you at ventral sexing? I know the answer, I have the molt. Can you tell if it's male or female?
Tliltocatl albopilosum, aprox. 3.5"
So I don't think people are getting what I meant. Post your guess and maybe why you think that. Don't just agree with someone, the idea is to better yourself and others with experience and education.

We do understand, but why make guesses if we already know or if someone more experienced already answered for them, which is why people are posting agree. No point taking guesses if we or someone knowledgeable on the boards already answered for the majority.

The idea was to get a thread started and discuss the methods you use. Simply marking it as agree does nothing for people who want to learn what to look for to make an educated guess. Also you think you know, you don't know if it's male or female. Ventral sexing is at best 60-70% accurate and that's with an actual expert looking.
So if you think it's male, say it's because you see a triangle above the furrow or if you think it's female then say it's because you see the curve or a mustache.
 
I would say female due to having multiple males that have all now matured and all lacked the white mustache that is on this one and all three of mine the top book lungs were so close together where this one you could fit the grand canyon between them. My males also had a very noticeable black triangle between top book lungs from about 2.5 to 3 inches.
