Not sure if some-one has already told you, but thats the way i did it, If its just a plain oval, you've a male, if it's 'like a flies head' you've a female, I've a male :@

Cheers for the thread, now I know I have a girl. Just out of interest is there much difference in size or lifespan between male and female Emps, I litterally have no clue how long they live.

Yeah, males are slightly smaller than females.
Males live for an average of 4-5 years,
Females live for an average of 6-8 years.

Hope this helps.

Generally the claws of the females are more slender than the males.

in eps(pandinus emperator) you can look at the operculum(the bit between the pectines)it is used in mating the males deposits a spermatophore from it and the female takes it up into hers, but aniway the females operculum is love heart shaped and the males is shaped like a rougby ball, but in many other species you have to look at the length of the pectines and the length of the teeth the males are longer and females shorter
