Is she mated? you can actually see embryos from parabuthus sp's after some time(weeks/months) if there mating session is successful.

If the scorpion is in later stages of pregnancy the membrane on the side of the body will be fully stretched and it's possible to just see the young inside the mother through the thin membrane.

DO NOT mess around with the scorpion checking, (a) It's a highly venomus species (b)It will stress the mother too much.

Also in your photo it looks like the scorpion is trying to burrow, add more substrate and a good hide so it can hide away, then LEAVE ALONE.

TAKE CARE when carrying out maintenance etc.

If shes been succefully paired than yes it's very possible but you'll know surely by the embryos that will buldge out her sides.. (white

If it isn't mated and isn't an adult it may just be premolt. Is it refusing food? And how big is it?
