Please help me sex my Hadogenes Paucidens...

[Zeromegon Degauno]

Hello there my fellow scorpion keepers,

I have a Hadogenes Paucidens, an Olive Keeled African Flat Rock Scorpion I just got quite a while ago from a local exotic pet shop where I live. Can you experienced scorpion-owning gurus help me find out what sex my scorpion specimen is? I’ve attached a photo of him/her below. Thanks in advance!!

I'm pretty sure they follow the same sexual dimorphism as the plain flat rocks, so in that case then this looks very male to me.

Yeah, slender long body indicates it is a MALE.
I have a adult H. Troglodytes female(flat rock), she has a wider/bulkier body.
The metasomal segments in your picture are also longer compared to a female.
