Hi, it looks like a male to me by the pedipalps.
These are actually amblypygid, so it should not be in the scorpion section, but more in the ''true spiders and other arachnids'' section.

You should put that bark in a vertical position for them to be able climb and hide....
And indeed you posted this in the wrong section. It would be better if you post a picture of both specimens, because males have more elongated pedipalps than females, and tha's kind of hard to see when the pic only shows one specimen

I too would like some pictures of both. The pedipalps on the other, visible in the back, appear larger, but absolutely not able to tell.
The one pictured I believe is female.
This link shows a male for comparison :
