Younger pokies are tough to tell. I flip-flopped my opinion 3 times on mine before I got a good molt to verify as female.
But.... to me, this looks male based on the dark patch around the "belly button" dimple in between the first set of lungs.
Not always 100% accurate but from my experience, only the males have that spot.
Also, it looks fairly large for only 7 months. If it is molting pretty frequently, that could be a "male flag" as well.
I would also say male...book lungs are a lot closer together than my female... and there is quite a prominent 'U' shape there...although to be honest,. I swore my female was male until last moult. So it could go either way. It is really so hard to tell. I spent weeks studying photos of male and female ventral's, and it still didn't become much clearer!
