I bought this B. boehmei at a show this month. There were two sac mates for sale and I chose the smaller of the 2 hoping for a female. She's about 1". I got a nice ventral photo of her today and to me looks like she's a she! What do you think?

i see no dot. and from what i was told from an expert you can faintly see a small dot on the males with a microscope as small as 3/4 of and inch. but also ventral sexing is not 100 percent. its fun to do the guessing game and hopes for the best....
