Carapace less green and vibrant, legs not as bright and metallic, lets me get up close and personal with no movement or hair kicking...... smell like a molt?? Legspan is 4", last molt was in early June...
What do you guys think? :)

Yeah ready to molt. Thats the only time mine will refuse food. When I open lid she will position herself right under the lid and catch it as soon as it hits.

For me the pic is a little too blurry to make out. It looks like there is a structure there but I can't say for sure. If you put that area of the moult over the end of your finger, the spermathecae should stand up so you can see it. I find that helpful when I am having trouble seeing it laying flat. Your spider looks awesome by the way!
This is what it should look like. Scroll down a little to see the
C. cyaneopubescens spermathecae.

She is between 4.5 and 5 inches now. Ooooh, I said she. Is there something I should see/ not see if its male? And at what size are the females breedable?

That flap I point to would NOT be there if it was a male. It would be a nice smooth line. I'd say you are CLOSE to breedable, one more molt should be good. (borrowed your picture hope you don't mind)
