| What are you talking about, Calum? It's perfectly possible to sex them if you get a clear shot of the pectines.
Unfortunately, the only pectine shot present in this thread isn't clear enough.
Oh, and those are NOT emps. Some sort of Heterometrus sp. -- notice the lack of granulation on the chela.
Moved to sexing forum. | |

| cant see them clearly to sex. Put them into a glass dish and then take a picture from underneath. One at a time if it would make it easier. And also they are not emps, agree with Mike on that one | |

| Like connie said...put them in a clear glass container (like a mason jar) and get a clear shot of her underside...if you have a digital camera try to put it in macro setting..its better for close-up pics... | |

| they will handle live food. Leave them a week and then pop in 2 crickets, if they are hungry they shall eat it. They might have just become lazy because they have got used to not trying for catch and kill the food item offered. | |

| Well the fat one will probably molt so that's a reason for that one refusing live food. | |

| If you're having trouble getting a clear shot, try putting them on a flatbed scanner. | |
