Howdy there,

I'm a long time lurker but a first time poster on this site.

I purchased 2 Emperor Scorpions a few months ago. I was told, during the purchase, that both were males. I was very satisfied by this news seeing as I wasn't looking to breed. However, I suspect the seller was wrong as I find myself with 1 scorpion that appears to be pregnant. I notice, what I like to call, the "white stretch marks" that I usually see on other pregnant scorpions.

Though I suspect her (it) to be pregnant, I would really appreciate more opinions. And some care tips for her (its) possible pregnancy would be great.

Edit: Pictures below!

I understand it's late and not many members are on in this section, but any quick help would be great.

Thanks,
Cody

The apparent male is underneath the rock in this picture.

well, it could still just be a very well fed male.
personally i would prefer to see ventral pictures to sex scorps ;)

I took several pictures of them, but they looked the same on both scorps. I was told on Arachnoboards that it was probably getting ready to molt. That would be great as it would be my first scorpion molt.

Wish me luck, :)
