Is this Desert Hairy a male or female?

 

[WeightedAbyss75]

My female Babycurus Gigas drinking from water drops on the terrarium walls. Guess she was very thirsty, coming out in broad day light right after the misting. I´ve never seen her drink from the water bowl though, same thing with the male. BTW I keep them at humidity around 70 - 75 % and day temp 84 F / 29 C and night temp 73 F / 22 C degrees. Of course there is always water in the mentioned bowl.

- If You think she is not just fat or something else seems wrong, please let me know.

(I keep the scorps in the basement for now so there is Styrofoam on the outsides of the enclousure, as isolation. That´s the white material in the picture. Works well IMO.)

I always wanted a Babycurus soecies, how often do you spray it/water the sub where you live? My only concern with them would be humidity...

That was the only down side to these beautiful scorps. I sprayed every two days to keep the humidity up. And when the humidity went down and I sprayed, like in the picture, one of them would come out and drink. Perhaps with a thicker layer of substrate You could spray more seldom. I had approx 1,5 inches of humus. If You can get one, or like I had, a pair, don´t hesitate. Very nice scorps. I sold them to make room for the Jacksonis, but now I really miss the Gigas. Highly recommended. Kind of nice to me, could have tagged me a couple of times, but never even threatened to do so. Nice and beautiful. Think I will get another pair in the future.

My first scorpion, a C. vittatus I found hanging on the underside of a rock. She's gorgeous in my opinion and quite calm. I'll be rehousing her into something bigger soon so that chunk of cork bark can go more vertical.

Pandinus cavimanus "Red Claw"- this is the only scorpion I own. I caught it during it's molt and took a few pics, hoping it would help in sexing it. I'm not too familiar with scorpions and would like to know if anyone would try to sex it for me. Any input or information about it would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey

Could still be subadult, which means its hard to sex

usually P.cavimanus males have an indent in the claws, suggesting this is a female

However the pectines/operculum dont match with whats shown here: http://www.allscorpionarchives.com/t39-sexing-pandinus-spp-and-heterometrus-spp

also.. you shouldn't be handling the scorpion after a moult, its very delicate and risks severe injury

A.crassicauda adult male, these are huge -_-

H.minusalta stilting female

I'd say male. Looks like mine. I was told it was a female when I bought it, but I'm pretty sure it's a male.
