Looks male too.

 

[snakeluvver]

I was thinking female as it sorta looks gravid, but I wouldnt know.

Looks female to me.

 

[thesilverbeast]

I can see how it would be female. I thought male due to the lack of sheen on the top of the abdomen. Might just be the camera though.

All correct, and definately too solid too be a male. One thing mate, i wouldnt write where you catch things like scorpions, especially species like urodacus as alot of people poach them and destroy whole populations unfortunately.
