Hadogenes bicolor keepers?

[WeightedAbyss75]

I love my Hadogenes species scorpions. I have adults of both troglodytes and paucidens, and plan on getting slings of each in the future. Just love how they look. I thought these were really the only two available in Hadogenes. However, I have heard of a "rumor" that a third species Hadogenes bicolor is available (if very rare) in the pet trade. Does anyone have any pics of confirmed bicolor they keep? I am very curious about how they look compared to the other two in the pet trade. I have never really found any good pictures of a confirmed bicolor, especially an adult. Also, if you keep them, any significant differences that set them apart? Would love to have any info whatsoever

Thanks for reading, Abyss

That'd be cool to have another Hadogenes in the hobby. Such a great genus to keep!

I know right? Figured someone somewhere has kept them to hear about them being in the trade at all

I'm starting to have doubts that bicolor exists and is simply troglodytes with some slightly diff color shades. I look for bicolor pics and find almost nothing. I have CB adult trogs that have interesting shading, almost black towards the front, much lighter in back but I know they are trogs because I had the parents. Has anybody come across taxo differences between trogs and bicolor? Yeah I like the look of these things too, really weird and big. I have both paucidens and trogs.

It could also be a closely related species - https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/3706095.pdf?refreqid=excelsior:88dfde32e33ead246343bf526da2ec4a

I don't know how easy it is to get things out of South Africa, but that seems to be the place to find them. If it's from anywhere else it's probably not bicolor.

Thanks for that, that was bothering me a bit, not knowing what was going on with bicolor.
