Post the pic here too: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/gallery/browseimages.php?c=9 You'll probably get more responses since it's the right place for sexing tarantulas. I can't help anymore than that because I'm not very good at telling the gender this way.

Congrats! 
I always wanted females too but now I have a closet full of females by luck not choice and now I'm actively trying to find males so I can start breeding. It's quite the frustrating endeavor to be honest lol.

They do die in molt sometimes, so 25 years is no guarantee. I always like to have 2 or 3 females of each species.

If a female produces sacs 5 times in her life, she needs 5 different males over the course of that. Anyone breeding goes thru A LOT of males.Congrats!

Top book lungs are almost level, not angled
Bottom book lungs are close together
I wouldn't label this T male or female until I have seen inside of a molt :? I surely wouldn't get exited thinking it is 100% female

Although the angle of the first pair of book lungs can be indicative, I'd use it as a secondary guide at best, as I've had experienced spider dealers screw up sexing because the solely went by book lungs. The vent and the area above it are far better indicators of sex than the lung slit angle.
