i wa nt to have my emperor scorpion sexed before i get an other 1 or 2 to go with him. he is only small though, and i wouldn't even know where to start with sexing him. is it possible to sex when he is so small? and also, for sexing, what would i need to get a pic of? like the underside, the head, the tail etc etc.

Take a pic of the hole scorpion. I use to compare the tail and the body.
