4 emps are they all male?

Hey got 4 emps today but im rubbish at sexing can you guys clarify that they are all male?

All look female to me

pectines are all huge though and all have oval operculums

Pectines are too far apart from each other


male is \/
female is \ /

At least that is as far as my sexing of emps goes
I think at least the first one is female... But you have some more specimen you can compare.. so..

hmmm would be awesome if they was all female lol hope i have got it wrong

Well you have more experience than me here, so I doubt I'm right if you say you think they are males. You have some for some time now (albeit a male that gave birth LOL)

hihi

Pluto, the gap method of sexing is more applicable to families such as Vaejovidae. At a guess, I'd agree with Bex that all are male, but it's always a little easier when you have them in front of you.

Bex, do you have a flatbed scanner by any chance? I've put scorps on one of those before and it got a great shot (I had to immobilize them with a towel, though).

omg thats such a good idea lol yeah i have hp photosmart printer/scanner/copier thingy...hmmm gonna have to try that sometime, e are now 100% sure they are male after having another look last night

The last one looks female

Lol I give up. Cant see any differences..

one thing im sure of is whatever they are they are all the same lol

with my little experience they all look male,except for the third pic.its just as bad as my pics,haha.

I'll say all male except the first which I can't say

The last pic is blurry, but I'm going to go with all male. The combs tend to go outwards where the females seem to have them shorter and more straight. ((hope that makes sense being I don't know all the right words, but I spent a few nights doing nothing, but looking at differences in scorpion sexes and have been able to sex all 12 of my adults)) I looked at pics of my own male and female emperor and yeah. Im going to say you got all males there.
