Just took some pics of my Buthus draa for sexing. I have 10 of them but will post the last 3 tomorrow. Pleas refer to each scorpion by the designated number on the corner of each picture as I have my scorpions like that at the moment until I can name them properly. Again, the species is Buthus draa. Refer to them by the number on the pic!

Thanks! When I used Mark Stockmann's pectine count I got 4.3.0. Very different numbers. Seems like time will tell. Going to upload the last three in a few hours.
