Brown stuff on Tail?

[DireWolf0384]

I just ordered some Asian Forest Scorpions and there is this brown dirt like stuff on their tails. Should I be worried?

It does appear to be coming off when I spray some water on it. I was going to use a damp Q Tip but I don't wanna get that close. They seem to have a short temper compared to the P.Imperator

I'm not sure, my desert species some times get a dirty tail when they poop, because it rubs all in teh sand. but this is different to me. if its coming off easily just keep at it!

Yep, just a bit of dirt that got on their tails.

Oh yeah, I was thinking "laoticus" but I see the granulation now in pic 2, I've never had a petersii. Big ole chela on that thing. My laoticus got out last night, but I only realized it when I saw a black tail sticking out from under the fridge this morning

They were sold to me as "Heterometrus " and that is all. But I am happy with the Scorps I got in today. I don't know he exact species though.

I watered some stuff last night, got distracted and left the top of the terr. It's a combo of Alzheimer's, ADHD and being bipolar, jk but I do get distracted easy.

I think Lao is right, maybe H. petersii(?) I've kind of wanted one for a while but not real bad.
