G.pulchra 2"

[BossHog]

First molt was February 12th and he/she molted again on March 16th. Finally threw the molt into the water dish and was able to get some good photos. I am thinking it's a male. Any thoughts?

This is what G pulchra spermatheca looks like

Sometimes when exos dry the spermatheca roll up or stick making it hard to see. Re-wet the area between the anterior book lungs with soapy or salty water and see if you can articulate the slit with a toothpick to reveal a flap like the pic above.

Spermatheca will mature, and grow, with the T, so immature females will have smaller, less-developed spermatheca. Sexing from exos becomes easier with older Ts, usually, as every thing is bigger and more developed.

For G pulchra, a flap, or semlence of a flap, female; no flap, male.

Hey,
I wetted it down with soapy water and put it under a microscope. Using a pick I was able to move the slit around and a small piece of skin unrolled but it was very small maybe I tore something up. I would take a picture but I accidentally ripped the molt shorty after.
