| Possibly male, but I am really having a hard time with that picture. However if it's an adult it should be pretty obvious from looking at the chelae (claws), males have a very distinctive indentation that females don't possess.
Also, the correct name for this species is now Pandinoides cavimanus.

A couple of images to maybe shed some light? extreme close up of the underside of the scorpion and the scorpion under the UV light with chalea clearly visible. | |

| Is this the same scorpion pictured in your intro thread? If so, it looks to be a male as the chelae have the convex 'dip'. Females don't have this. | |
