Heterometrus sp. pregnant or premolt?

[scorpion overlord]

I’m having some trouble telling if my scorpion is in premolt or if she is pregnant, she is my first scorpion got her in June, she ate when I got her but hasn’t eaten since July but keeps getting fatter, any info is appreciated.

Im not really sure how to tell the difference other than waiting it out, maybe look on her side to see if you notice any babies inside? Would love to hear what others have to say

The problem with looking through the side is that Asian forest scorpions have a very thick membrane, but thanks anyways.
