P. metallica sling molted last night, figured i'd post a ventral to get some guesses from you guys. s/he's about 1.5" now. saved the molt to look at it under a scope soon.

You really rushing this one.I don't even want to take a guess yet.Give it a
little more time.

Looks a bit female-ish but it's too early to say with any certainty at all.

Well if you want a guess.I would say male because the anterior book lungs
fall below the epigastric furrow.And that usually means male.If it was a female
the the anterior book lungs end right were the epigastric furrow begins and would
not extend below them.So it's a male.But it's still to early to tell for sure without
a molted skin and a microscope.

I would have at least waited until it hardened before taking pictures...

Looks female at this point.

Female.

Can't really be sure until it hardens, or maybe another molt.
