Poecilotheria metallica

Male or female? :)
Can I have it if I guessed it correct? :p I'm leaning towards female, but this one is quite a tad confusing.
 
If I could send it to you I would.

It's still up in the air. Poecies are tough things to ventrally sex.
 
I would definitely agree with Lalberts and say female as well, I was browsing different specimens of approx the same size virtually as yours and ventrally the males would have a characteristic circular bald spot on the epiandrous fusillae along with a pronounced dark arc over it, However in this case yours appears to be uniform in color and coat pattern.
 
I also think it's female. I find most P. metallicas easy to sex. I think a lot of the people get confused by the darker area above the furrow which looks like epiandrous fussila.
 
Looks female, but I also think it has a pretty decent chance at male. Wait for a molt to confirm, imo.
