When did it last moult? That's the best way to tell the gender I don't have any sites to hand, but they are littered all over this forum, just run a search for how to sex them.

Age is a toughie... Go by the fact an adult mature one will be approx 6 inches; taking 5 years to accomplish. If yours is around 3 inches take it as its 4 years or so (this is an extremely vague guide keep in mind!)

Hope they kind of help a bit!

Does your spider climb the glass, so you can see its fangs? If so you can sex them by looking at the underside of the abdomen around the book lungs. How you ask? Here is a good site, though it's with diagrams and no photographic examples

Hope that helps!
