Well, just look yourself!





This is the same metallica that everyone (except a few) believed to be male...

Those circled dots look to high up to be spemathecae. They should I think be a lot lower between that upper pair of book lungs. Wait till it hardens up and take another closer ventral. Could be a woman though, you never know.

Some of the ventral photos kinda look female, but the molt appears male.

Even if it is a male when he matures a 50/50 loan will still get you plenty of slings.

I was looking the same area as Anastasia, but wasn't seeing anything obvious. How big of a T is this Austin???

I didn’t see it until Anastasia pointed it out (you go girl!) and even then I had to squint lol.

Congrats on the little girl Austin!!! :clap:

Well the flap (if there is one) is VERY hard to see under this ***** scope. I took some more pictures today however.
This looks male:

Yes, I failed to mention that, thanks Ryan. All of these pics are of one metallica.
