Yeah stick some pics up of the underside of your scorpion where the pectines are and people will be able to help you out.

I cannot seem to get a clear picture of my scorpions pectrines. my camera quality is very poor... but i confirmed that that they are big feathery pectrines and its heart shaped at the top. hope that helps

i would have to say male, but only time can really tell. if you are unsure, try a confirmedfemale and see if they breed. pictures would really help tom

I've read that the females operculum is more heart shaped and the males are more oval. I think the pectines are bigger on males but the count does over lap.
I take it you've tried putting the scorp onto something very clear and taking the pic through it.
