P. metallica

2 to 2.5 inch DLS. Due to the lack of a dot, I understand its a female.
@CyclingSam
I dont look for the dot, i tend to look @ the line running across the upper set of booklungs.
As i understand it, on pokies at least it will be very "straight" or uniform from the outside points all the way across the middle section (epigastric furrow) and on females it will look "raised" or "lippy" along the lower side of the epigastric furrow.

Vent sexing is alot of guesswork and im not near as good at it as others but so far i dont get more rite then wrong so fee im learning and on the rite track
 
thats a more recent pic of my confirmed female. Confirmed via spermathecae present in a moult i showed a pic here and everyone agreed female a while back.
Earlier vent pics i posted looked male when she was in the 2"-3" range, shes over 6" dls now
