He/she just molted about 30mins ago...





I have no idea what I'm supposed to look for or what i'm looking at.

I would appreciate it a lot if you experts out there could tell me what sex this curly is...


Thanks

I hope the photo is ok...

Not to easy to explain, but curly hairs is a start... :laugh:

In simple terms (cause I don't know the fancy ones), when you open the exuvium and look on the inside (like in your picture), you first get the "line" that runs between the frontal book lungs (those white paper like stuff). In the middle of the two book lungs, on that line, you might see a translucent flap of skin. In some cases it might be Brownish or Amber colored. This already shows it's a female, I think it's called the Uterus exturnus. If you lift that flap, you should see a structure or structures that are also darkish in color in more mature spiders. These are the spermathecae. Males have VERY tiny structures, the male accessory organs, but are a lot smaller than spermathecae, sometimes almost invisible to the naked eye (or mine at least).

Take that wet skin, stretch it wide open and take another close up pic of the area I circled with your awesome camera (not cell phone) and post again.

Hi Amore

Here are some video's to help. This will show you step by step enjoy.

I know that you can't see much on that pic but for now I say male.

Thanks to all of you.

I am very new to all of this but I'm getting there...
