Here is one most recent photo of one of my 3 emperors...
Hey, how can you tell the sex except the comparing of the pincers?

Looking at the Pectines underneath the animal is one of the best ways to sex your scorpion the female emperors have smaller ones than the males.

The little brush like thing under the abdomen. The are 2 feather-like thingies there. They use it to "smell" the suroundings. Females have smaller ones then the males

It's a she. She's huge, males are smaller.

As for scorp's anatomy:
Basic dorsal anatomy:
http://www.thedailylink.com/thespiralburrow/anatomy/
Basic ventral anatomy:
http://www.thedailylink.com/thespira...my/anat02.html

Emp males' pectines are longer than females' pectines. Pectines teeth are longer for the males too.

If you want pics of male/female pectines go there, the page is in french but the pic on the left is the male, the one on the right is the female:
