Emperor Scorpion Gender?

[hoss12789]

Hello everyone!
I am hoping someone might be able to help me determine the gender of my Emperor. I hope the pictures are clear enough, and that he/she is large enough to tell, but if y’all think he/she still needs to grow some more to make the determination I completely understand. Thank you all so much in advance!

Looks male in my opinion.

The pectines do resemble male more to me also. Males are bit larger then females.

I agree, male.

If you look at the operculum, there's a little slit at the top of its shape. Females are smooth and don't have that slit. Very small are easy to miss if you aren't looking at it. But the pectines are a giveaway. The males are longer and the females are shorter.

Thank you all so much!! I am glad we named Palpatine appropriately then! I really appreciate all of you taking the time to answer me
Here’s a picture of him next to his most recent molt on Thanksgiving. Y’all really are the best forum

At first I didn't see the molted scorpion and I was like " what the heck is wrong with that scorpion!? " lol
