Best advice I can give you, honestly, take my word on this, FORGET VENTRAL SEXING...

Take the dried and shrivelled exuvium and pour a bit of boiling (or hot) water into the body cavity. The water will unshrivel the abdominal skin. Steaming it over a boiling kettle also works, but that usually burns the crap out of my shaking fingers. Also very difficult to hold both an exuvium and a glass of wine, AND focus on both.

Most people are like clouds. The sun comes out when they f*ck off...

Shaka, you have one exuvium coming your way - the R20 is in the envelope. Please let me know as soon as you can, I am desperately hoping this is a female.

Thanks. It's a B. albiceps - the exuvium is about 6cm long but she(note the optimism) is now actually closer to 8cm.
