I'm told this curly is a female. I've read through a few things on ventral sexing but I dont really understand it. Can anyone help me out?

Certainly looks 100% female to me! :)

Although males do have a thin white line above the furrow (the area you have circled), females have a much larger one, just like in your pictures.

Looks very female to me.
comparing the difference beatween male and female when already confirmed helps a load but remember all species are different.
Avics are notoriously difficult but Brachypelma’s are relatively easy.

If you need any pictures please don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll cup a few of my confirmed sexes for you.
