T.ockerti

Its a 2" exuv of my T.ockerti this time.i see lips,but im not sure if thats what to look for.so you guys decide.thanks!!
Thanks!but does the opening,just below those dots,that is shaped like lips,have nothing to do with it being female?thatwas actually my first clue.
 
@BrockiePelma Both males and females have a slit between the first pair of book lungs.

Females have a uterus externus, which loops like a thin flap that surrounds the spermathacae (where females store sperm after mating). Generally, when we sex by molts, we are just looking for the presence of absence of these features. (Absence means male.)

Here is a drawing of the internal reproductive anatomy of a female tarantula.
