B. Hamorii, 5cm

My little B. Hamorii moulted the night before I brought her home. I've posted pics if the moult on Facebook and 3 people said female, 2 said male. Anyone care to take a look for me please? Thanks!

Anyone?

@KezyGLA or @Thistles are your best bets. The folding of the molt at the sexual organ confuses me.

 

[Thistles]

Little boy imo but there are a few things confusing me. I don't see any of the girly parts, but also nothing especially male.

I wrote that before I scrolled all the way up and saw the backlit pics. Those look more female, but I can't tell if some of those things are creases or the beginnings of spermathecae.

Young female

Whoop! Female? That's what I was thinking! If you zoom in on the ventral photo the 'slit' part isn't straight across, like it has indents either side. I can't wait until it moults again. I'll know what I'm doing next time! Thank you both!

Just got a couple more clearer ventral pics. Do these help? @KezyGLA and @Thistles
