Male, Female?

Picked her up from a pet store, felt horrible watching this little kid smash the glass and his mom wouldn't correct him. Anyone have any idea on the sex? I was gonna wait for a molt, but they didn't know what the last time that was.
Looks like a mature male.
Look up "tibial hooks"
And "palpal emboli" or "palpal bulbs"

Does it have these?
 
Like this right?

If so nothing that I can see, I didn't think it was mature, its only about 3 inches in length
Plus from what I read about behaviors, all he/she does is sit around in its den or go over where the heat pad is and hang out over there. Never explores the corners of its cage, doesn't climb, but it could just be lazy.
 
Yes like that.
If it doesn't have those or clubbed pedipalps, then it's not a mature male.

As for the sex, it's fairly blurry and unclear (to be able to see epiandrous fusillae), but just going by the shape alone I would guess maybe female.
