But save the next molt for examination. I’m pretty awful with the terminology but it involves looking for a difference in the underside of your T. Females have a ‘flap’ whereas males don’t. It’s next molt, try to remove the molt without stressing her out. If you can do that then lay it out carefully on its back, if it’s hard a light mist of water can soften it up a bit. Then you look for the flap, and if you can slide a piece of paper under the flap it usually means female. I’ll see if I can find a good link for you. But at this stage it’s so teeny tiny that it would be difficult to do sexing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
