    Thats an easy one.

    Its either a male or a female ! ! !

    Ventral sexing is only an educated guess but only with clear and in focus photos (which yours are not) so you need a moult to be 100% sure.

      yer i thought it might be a long shot given the pictures are not to good, although i am waiting for an impending moult so hopefully i should be able to see from that, i will try to get a better picture when it does and get a second opinion from those (like ya good self) with more experience...

                  Not sure, I am guessing 4 to 5 inch, but no more, she has hidden her self away for her moult, when she is done I will very very carefully collect the old exo, I may see if I can get her measured....either way I will get a good idea from the old exo, without the risk of a bite lol

                    Looking at the distance between the upper book lungs between the sexes on the Russian site and comparing them to your photos.
                    I would guess that you have a female.

                            If the carapce is around 18mm or longer (how long is the carpace from her last moult?) she should be big enough to mate with my male, PM me your addy and will post him over, where are you BTW?

                              i had a good look in her enclosure today and she defo hasn't moulted yet and she hasn't eaten any roaches either, all in her own time i guess .....
