[pandinus]

[Black Hawk]

no problem
now i need to pin down a species, my search continues

Hey Black Hawk,

I agree, it does look like a Bothriuridae. Do you have any information on where it was collected? I received some scorpions that look very similar to yours that were labeled as "shiny brown scorpions." I believe the scorpions that I received were said to have been from Africa.

the pet store knew nothing of this scorp to help me identify it other that the totally bogus common name their supplier had given them :wall:

Bothriurus araguaye

in my opinion its a Bothriurus araguaye, they are very commom on the south of brazil, on the wild they are burrower scorps but i had many in a big terrarium with earth but they prefer to stay under rocks and objects inside the terrarium! every bothriurus i had was so fat as yours BLack howk hehehheeh they eat very much! ill try to post some photos soon!

 

[Black Hawk]

you could be right i searched it but i couldn't find any photos, it'd be interesting to see yours

Hi,

I don´t htink you can determine this one down to species level by pics. If the movable finger of the chelae has a subdistal tooth it may be a Bothriurus sp.

Regards
Alex

their claws are small so i'm not sure my eyes aren't playing tricks on me but i'm pretty sure i can see them if i squint
