Brachypelma albiceps about 3 inch DLS. Has not molted with me trying to see if it can be told male or female yet.

3 inch DLS

He/she loves destroying molts. I was wondering if its possible to tell male or female from the underside? If anyone could identify for me or teach me how, thank you.

I got an aphonopelma chalcodes (Arizona blonde) in February from a reputable person. She has not eaten not once, I dont believe she is eating and she is shriveling. I went back and asked what could be happening and he laughed and said "its an aphonopelma they go on food strikes". I am new to tarantulas but I would assume that a food strike would not include starving herself to non-exisence. I have checked her fangs they look good. I have tried many many prey. I have mashed her prey, tried to syringe feed. I have placed her mouth in water to get her to drink. I have given her water by syringe, she will not swallow it. I am losing her and I dont know what else to do. I have reached out to other breeders and companies, no one has answers. Please if you have ANY suggestions I need help saving my Eevee girl.

Looking for help identifying whether this Neoholothele Incei is a male or female. I am leaning male. Thanks
