Sex me crawshayi

[Scorpiove]

Well I was using a rolled up paper to try to move the crawshayi over and well the spider bit it. It has been holding on for 3 hours now. I figured I would scan her abdomen while I had a chance. I don't think it will ever let go! So what do you think? Male or female? I know molts are better but I couldn't miss the opportunity to scan her. Don't forget to click to enlarge!

Looks like a female to me.

 

[common spider]

Looks female.

NO :evil: this just sucks so ba.... oh wait nevermind you said female Thank you kindly. Now to just wait for a molt and to verify via exuvia. Anyone else wanna take a guess?

Approx. how big is it (legspan)?

There is some sexual dimorphism with this species early on.

Maybe about 2 1/2" maybe a tad bigger. This is the same spider:

What is the sexual dimorphism for C. crawshayi?
