Try reposting this in the Epiandrous fusillae forum. That’s where this will be looked at more.

Only a moult can confirm but I'd say female

Thanks bro. I heard that ventral sexing could be as acurate as a molt, how true is that?

Not true I'm afraid. Only a moult can tell you 100%.
With ventral, it's more of an educated guess, looking for known differences between the sexes. However, some times you can still get it wrong!

Requests to identify (or confirm) a tarantula's sex must be posted to the appropriate gallery. Please see this thread for instructions: How to Request Species or Sex Identification.

It varies by species and size. Larger specimens of certain species are easy to sex ventrally. Others, not so much.
