I suck at sexing younger molts. I don't own a microscope anymore and don't want to wait a year for them to get big enough for me to know the gender of my T.

I suspect Sing is a girl but wanted extra eyes.

I see structures that look female however, it could be another part of the moult that hadn't been cleared away from that area. There's part of a book lung right underneath the furrow, so I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is the real thing or something extra. Is it possible to clear everything around and below the furrow and take another shot? A nice clear close up with a light underneath can help too. Thanks :D

This was all I could get. Worse case call her a suspected female and try again next molt. I bought some macro lenses for xmas and now can take better pictures

Still not clear I'm afraid so will stick with my initial assessment! It's difficult to get a good shot when they are small
