Sexing from moult

[Steph1304]

Hi,

My albopilosum succesfully moulted on Wednesday, but she didn't want to move away from her moult for a couple of days so by the time I got to it, it was a bit 'crispy'. I've floated it in water for a couple of days and smoothed it out as best I can and I think I have a female but I'm not 100% sure.

Please could you check for me? I can take more photos if needed. Thanks in advance

Flip it over to view the space between and slightly above the upper book lungs please

Oops trust me to photograph the wrong side!

Hope this shows ok.

From the outside the moult has turned translucent in the water and I 'think' I can see a pouch but again I could be looking in the wrong place.

Looks like a male to me.

Thank you again

I did read through that page before I posted, but I still struggled to differentiate between the squishy bits!

I don't mind really whether I have a male or a female I was just curious ^^
