Looks like a Tityus stigmurus to me, but I'm not very well versed in scorps. Poor kid, don't understand why people buy from them. They are pretty terrible from what I have seen, and often get species wrong. Good find thiugh, really like the colors on that scorp
@WeightedAbyss75 I just looked up the stigmurus and their tails are much thicker than the one I have. I agree with you about backwater....I've never ordered from them and never will. I've seen way too many unboxing horror videos from them to last me a lifetime and a half. The kid wanted $20 for it, admitted he was scared of it and I got it for $15.
@WeightedAbyss75 He said he wanted to get a chubby frog instead. I'm going to assume he was intimidated after doing some reading about them? I'm not sure. Honestly though, it's been pretty laid back. I have it in a medium sized deli cup with a water dish, cocofiber sub and a fake leaf that it loves to be on top of. until a month ago, it ate like a little piggy, but now it's fat and I'm sure it's due for a molt soon.
Nice! What size is it? May even be gravid, but that seems like a stretch. Always good to hope though, right? Maybe Backwater actually kept them communally
I honestly don't know what it is @CreepTumorXD As it states in the description, a kid bought this from backwater reptiles as a thick tail scorpion...obviously it's not a thick tail. The kid was scared of it and I bought it from him. Picture ID can be tricky, but from what I'm guessing its a C. vitattus...just not 100% certain.
