another wolf spider question

[Kaitty]

ok, is there any other way of telling if a wolf spider is a female apart from looking for the epigynum??

the wolf spider that i have at the moment has orange furr near its fangs
(heres a pic of its skin, it shed just 2 days ago)

it now also has orange on the underside of its legs, i dont know if it has anything to do with wether its a female. i would love it if anyone could give me a hand on this!

here is a picture of peanut (yes, i named it)

I don't think that the orange color on the chelicera, or the legs is a definitive characteristic for gender determination. Judging by the size of your spider as it appears in the pics, and its body shape/proportion, I would venture to say that it is a girl, but it is still hard to say. If it is still immature, then it wouldn't do much good, but could you try to get a good picture of its palps?

Either way, Peanut is universal name as far as gender goes. Good choice.

its palps are as long as my male's but it doesnt have any roundness at the end of them at all
