Hello my firends, I'm purchase this scorpino recently is sold to me as "A. mauritanicus" but its doesn't look like my other mauritanicus very much. However, it is looking very similar to my A. gonnetti. So I'm wonder, how are you telling the difference between this two species? I leaving here some picture of this animal:

I'm not really sure how to exactly identify this Androctonus. This one is not yet fully adult ?
Yours sure has the colors that resemble a gonneti.
The mauritanicus I've seen don't have the lighter colored fingers/pincers.
