H. Spinifer sexing

[Jmore]

Got this beauty today! I’m new to scorpions and through research and by looking at reference pictures I believe it is a female, but looking for a second opinion

How old do you know? Show the claws.

Not sure how old, and you can kind of see one in the picture above but I’ll try to get some better shots of them. Do you need to see the top?

If it's old enough look for this bump

It seems to have one there but it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t stick out nearly as much as that one, that’s another reason I was thinking female. Also got this shot where you can kind of see it

This method only works for adult H. silenus.
The title of the thread says this is a H. spinifer, but from these pictures I doubt this is actually the case. If you post some good pictures, I might be able to identify the species.

As far as sex goes, it looks female.

I posted another thread about her and was told she’s actually an H. Silenus and a female!

Yes I realized too late. Replied in there as well and can confirm.

Just a food for thought identifier. But yes it's not a general indication spot. Best is to count pectine and check the operculum.
