Pokie Sexing Confusion

[CyclingSam]

My P. metallica has me confused. Before its molt, I was convinced it was male. It now looks female to me. I am not sure what Pokie's genitalia look like, but I thought I saw something in the molt. It was a bit distorted though because the T. got a bite in before I could take it. It is now at 2.25 DLS. I understand if they have a dot, they are supposed to be male. I am still confused. Help is appreciated. Here are the pictures of before last molt and current molt pictures. http://arachnoboards.com/gallery/p-metallica-2-25ish-dls-looks-female.40650/ Thanks!

Looks female, there is no dot/belly button (lol) and the upper set of book lungs have a good distance between them. Males are closer together.
Not metallica but good comparison of juvenile male/female ventral.

Before its molt, I was convinced it was male.

This implies there was a molt. So where is that.

It does look female. Everyone thought mine was a male until I got a good view of the molt.

Like I said, she/he chewed it bit before I could get it. Here is the best pic I could get. I see something, but it is an awful small something. Second picture has a red outline to show what I am looking at.

I'll say female as well, its small so should show more as it grows.

Don't mean to hijack your thread, I've got a ventral shot of my P.rufilata as well that I could use some help with.

Ahh, yeah mine was pretty bad about that as well. I did manage to get ones from her on the last molt. Good luck man.

Here is a ventral of my P. rufilata. She is 3" DLS and was sold to me by a breeder who confirmed her sex with a molt and a microscope.
