Picked this one up from the local shop today. Labeled as a unsexed dune.

Upon lots and lots of research I'm still unsure of it's gender....also is it possible if a she that it's gravid? Or could this be premolt? Or just fat? IMG_20190417_133913063.jpg IMG_20190417_134120318.jpg

If I’m not mistaken I think I can see some segments/bands underneath her exoskeleton. I don’t have miche xperience with scorpions though so take my advice with a grain of salt, but try looking for the embryos/eggs forming inside of her. They look like little balls/spheres but you really need to look to see them.
