Talking How to sex scorpions.

Males have larger pectines which have more 'teeth' and provide a more comblike appearance than females.

To sex your scorpion with the minimum amount of stress gently coax it into a cricket tub/takeaway container etc and then you can easily see the pectines (which are underneath the scorpion just before the last set of legs) and this also helps when taking pictures for definite ID.
