P Metallica not sure if the molt is too messed up but any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
I don't understand what or exactly to look for. Please inform or could anyone tell me where to find this info.
 
Well lal, I think that what you're seeing to be the spermathecae is actually a fold in the skin or shadows. Below is a picture of a female P. mets spermathecae.
@ Gooty- In this picture, between the top interior book lungs, you can see what looks to be "flap", with two round "knobs". This is the spermathecae, a sac which holds the males sperm. You can consider the knobs to be, well, a female tarantulas ovaries.

You need a better, clearer picture to determine the sex of this species.
 
Thank you so much. That was very informative. I should be much better at sexing my Ts after that post so thank you 1000 times.
