Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phil" data-source="post: 165297" data-attributes="member: 4151">I am not generally a fan of vent sexing, [USER=28093]@T-Baby[/USER] may have a view,  but from what I can see I would say Male (based on the book lung positioning and the shape of the epigastric furrow (opening between the set of book lungs). The pair of book lungs have a narrow gap and are more vertically aligned (females tend to have a wider gap and the 2nd pair of book lungs are further away than set 1). The epigastric furrow is virtually flat (females have a crescent shape and the presence of a 'lip' certainly when older)Disclaimer:The spider looks young (Juvenile?) and vent sexing is not as accurate as sexing from a moult and depending on whether recently moulted and size etc, it is more difficult to vent sex. Best to wait for a moult and sex from there if you can <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
