Thank you, haha fingers crossed.Laoticus have no granulation...smooth. Not many Laoticus are being imported. Perersii are stockier with mild granulation are the most abundant in the trade lately. I have 2 female perersii wild caught that look just like yours....both came in gravid FYI.
Thanks, for the link man. I'll take a closer look at my specimen once it comes out again. In the case of it being petersii (seems likely), how do I know if the male's tooth on the movable finger is "enlarged"? Is there a reference picture you could point me towards? Or perhaps someone has a picture of either a female or male movable finger tooth? Thanks!I discussed how to distinguish between the four common Heterometrus species in the hobby in this thread: http://arachnoboards.com/threads/looking-into-heterometrus-spp.291375/page-2#post-2595099
Found it! http://scorpionforum.darkbb.com/t8804-h-spinifer-arrivalIf you do a Google search you should see a few examples of it. Otherwise I can post some pictures from the most recent ID key tomorrow.
