Ok,
My little B. smithi molted thursday, I came home to witness halfway through the procedure. The little bugger did it right-side up, kinda weird I thought but either way I'm wondering if the few pics I took could confirm the guy at BS's word that it is a female. He seemed pretty knowledgable about arachnids but here goes...

PS. Smithi's about 3.8".

Sorry, but not from those pix. Need to see a close-up of the under-side of abdomen. Can you try again?

take the shed skin and spread the abdomen out so you can see the inside of it, particularly the book lung area. take a nice close-up pic of the front set of book lungs and post it. you should get some good answers if you have some good pics
