Thank you. Is there a way to tell gender and if it is a female, and if so, if it’s pregnant?

Probably female, probably gravid, can’t be 100% sure from a photo. Would need to see the underside of the spider to determine if it was a mature female, she looks gravid but other conditions can resemble this. The size would suggest she’s mature. I’ll check it off because it’s likely.
