Hello
It is a bit unclear,and ventral is not always reliable.

ill get a better pick. I just saw that someone posted somewhere that the P. Metallicas was easier to see from the outide.
I can always wait, not a big deal. send out a molt or find out how to do it myself.

Picture is too unclear.
Ventral sexing will always be a guess, but if you can get a clear pic, I will give it a shot

 

[77RRad]

Either of these help. using a Note 4 for the pics so I might have to get something else to take them.

looks like it could be male but best way to find out would be to sex the molt

 

[77RRad]

what size molt is needed to check? I have one that is was 1 3/4 - 2".

I am going to go against the grain and say that it looks like a female to me.

With a microscope you could see the spermathecae on a moult that size.
