The same story I'm sure many of you have heard... I'm super new to amblys and found one on craigslist from someone who knew it was a tailless whip scorpion but had no other info. Talked to a couple friends and narrowed it down to female Damon sp. Could you guys help me ID it and tell me how you know? I'd appreciate it a lot 😊

Also I know these aren't great pics, I can definitely get more if yall tell me what you need for the ID. Thanks! Snapchat-502424163.jpg 20201019_012648.jpg

I'd guess D. medius. They tend not to be as well marked and more grey than D. diadema and are significantly more common in the hobby right now due to import/export laws over in Africa.

I must've gotten a defective pair, I didn't realize they emanated pink hearts...

Thanks,
