Is my Southern Devil Scorpion gravid?

[AndroctonusMan]

So I recently noticed that my Southern Devil Scorpion's armor plates are a bit farther apart than usual. She is also quite fat in general. I know she is a fully grown adult female, so she can't be molting. I have only had her for a few days. I know there are quite a bit of different things that can cause this, but I was just curious to see what other people think.

Could be. Or could just be well fed as captives tend to get. IME they are usually a bit fatter when gravid. Especially when near parturition.
