P metallica juvie

Yea they are kinda hard to see when they are smaller. This is my male

It almost looks like there is a flap but it doesnt...pretty sure it's a male anyways lol either way it's a beautiful T and I'm grateful to have one

You may sex your living Poki via the dot method. males have a dot ventrally. See my image of my male P rufilata.

This didnt have an obvious dot and the guesses were mixed last time it was posted i have a 6inch female so either way im cool with..

Leaning male, not as obvious to me at least, perhaps others. Poec would know for sure.

Yea it really was not too obvious before molting but i'm 99% sure i dont see a flap. I guess he decided to be a he. The lines on it's abdomen faded alot compared to what it was before molting too haha. Thanks for your input. Ill wait for another molt.

Male on this one, I was reading a post from a user on another forum whose familiar with P. met sexing and he says quote.
"The positioning and shape of the epigynal plate. In male metallica you'll find that the plate is much more trapezoidal in shape, opposed to the more triangular shape of a female.

The booklungs and epigynal plate will be positioned much closer to the sternum in female specimens. In this case you can see that there is a large triangular region separating the sternum from the epigynal plate.

And finally, the epigynal plate is covered in epiandrous fusillae, apart from a "bald spot" in the lower center of the plate. This only ever occurs in male metallicas."

thanks for the input. im waiting for the next molt to confirm. no worries.
