| At first glance I thought it was just a fat arizonensis. But then I saw it's metasoma was too thick, and it had a black segment on it. I had no idea what it was really. But I remembered it as a P.Liosoma Anyway, the guy had it damp as hell.    | |

| Looks like it may be gravid. Have you sexed it? IIRC, Parabuthus have an extra "tooth" on the pectines near the operculum if it's a female. I could be wrong, though -- it's been a while.
Have you given it a look over for mycosis? | |

| So . . . unsexed, but looked over for mycosis? Good to go.  If you can get a good shot of the pectines, we can probably sex it. Mine was a female (clicky for huge version):  | |

I was hoping you could sex it.
Anyone for that matter. | |

| Parabuthus can't be sexed by body shape or chela usually -- you have to look carefully at the pectines. | |

Tel me if u need better shots.
The clearest deli cup is the least deep and I'm afraid it might climb out and cause trouble.
This is the biggest MS scorpion I've had.

| Awesome.
The chances just got higher for it being gravid. | |
