She/he just molted, and is about 5.5" leg span. Is it large enough to tell its sex from just looking at it, or will I have to wait until it's almost fully or fully grown to tell. Her molt is tattered so I can't post a good pic of it, and I don't think I'll be handling her anytime soon based on her hissing and flicking yesterday, so no shots of her underside :/

It is certainly large enough to attempt sexing her. Of course using the shed skin is the most reliable. Take a look at this article for some tips.

If you get lucky, she will sit on the side of your tank so you can get a peak at her underside.
