So Last Week i bought my first scorpion, at the shop they said she was an Asian forest scorpion but not which Specific species, and upon googling and checking the site here, it looks like there are about a dozen different species of Asian forests.
Now i have it narrowed down to a few i think it might be:
Due to the Blue Sheen of its body im thinking:
Heterometrus spinifer
Heterometrus cyaneus
But might also be:
Heterometrus laoticus
What i would LOVE for her to be(due to the size of these guys)
Heterometrus swammerdami
Now i noticed she has a very destinct Blue Shine to her, like very obviously blue more so then pure black/grey or green like some of the other species have been stated to have.
But i was hoping you guys would be able to help me figure out which specific species she is.
if so, im also interested in getting any opinions on my current Enclosure and if there is anything i should change or fix! any feedback at all really would be amazing!
EDIT: after reading some other posts on here about Asian Forest scorps in general, i did take the Rocks out of her water dish as it seems everyone agrees they are just kind of a Mold Attracter, and with the raised center i dont think there would ever be a problem anyway with her current water dish.
