Hey guys we need a little help we have been working with Ts for years but Scorpions are a new adventure for us . We recently acquired three Asian Forest Scorpions and need some help sexing them if possible . 20191116_201126_0000.png 20191116_201036_0000.png 20191116_200933_0000.png

1. Female
2. Male
3. Male

I am 99.99% sure. Length of female pectines in this species never extends to the trochanter or rather the length of the male pectines extends beyond the trochanter.

Males = split genital operculum (oval); Females = fused genital operculum (heart)

If the pectine length surpasses the border of trochanter = male

The pectine comb teeth are longer in males too.

Aw lol, I think they are but I may not be right. For T's I want females, but for scorpions I find it doesn't really matter. Plus if they r ur pet; you will love them regardless of gender! :D
Lol they are not just for being pets they were suppose to be paired ....I'll have to shop and trade I guess......
