I also bought something similar from Amazon, around 3usd shipped I think. ;)

I was able to confirm both B. emilia and B. boehmei as females at around ~1.5" too.

dont bother looking and deffinately dont buy one.... we can all start sending our molts to him...seriously its brand new and he said he would share! lol. to the op... how small of a molt can you sex with something like that? i can usualy vent sex 1 plus inch slings with some degree of accuracy..if i could sex half inch or smaller slings using there molts it would be well worth the money.

Here is the one i use. http://www.learningresources.com/product/twist--8482-+flexible+digital+microscope.do It takes pictures, and records video with sound. Has a measurement system so you can place measurements on your images. The flex neck lets the scope be put in any position, 6 led lights, wicked microscope. Plus i dont have to try and put my eye on a eye piece and hold still, just plug it into the laptop usb, and watch the screen.

Hmmm, looks like something for my Christmas wish list. A little shopping around and I found it for almost half that price. :)

Yeah i ordered mine from ebay. I think i paid about $110 for mine, but that was about a year ago maybe. These work so well. Only bad thing about them is supposedly they can auto focus. Well good luck with that lol. I cant find any way for it to. But manually focusing works just fine, so no big deal.

I haven't tried it with anything smaller than 1.5" yet so idk. I don't really trust my vent sexing skills so this works great for me.

yeah I've seen that one you've posted before, in the future I'd like to get something like that but this works well for me for now
