Flat Rock Scorpion Identification help

[Veno Manus]

Bought this today from the reptile show and seller said it was mis identified. It seems to be not doing very well and it's extremely lethargic and almost unresponsive. Some help would be great so I can have some better info. Much appreciated.

Looks like a species of Scorpiops, possibly Scorpiops grandjeani. First thing to do is get it off the wood chips, they are always terrible for scorpions, as sometimes they have fragrances or pesticides added to them if they were meant to be used as a mulch, etc. Get him on some dirt with a few easy hides, warm him up to at least 80 degrees, offer some water and perhaps a pre-killed prey item, like half a cricket or something similar, and then leave him alone. Probably a lot of stress moving around from being packed up going to the show, not to mention if it was recently imported from the UK or even wild caught before that. Doesn't appear to be mature, and although scorpions are tough little buggers sometimes a boatload of nonstop stress like that can do them in, especially younger instars/juveniles.

Fingers crossed, keep us updated on its condition and hope it pulls through!

So prior to your reply, I had don't all of this cause i wasn't get a response from anyone quick enough. Dad mode kick in and decided to throw it in with my other brood cups in my 10gal where it temperature controlled and got it warmed up. Did a couple poke tests after about a hour or so and it bolted around the cup. So I was relieved there. Then I took a medium sized cricket and let it run over it and it snatched it right away. The poor thing looks so thin in person and I feel so bad on its size. I did however get some info that its a 99% sure wild caught but there's nothing I can do now other than give it the life. So I will be keeping good eye on it the next couple days to see if it's behavior starts to wonder.

But it was labeled as a Kauti Scorpiops Thailand Flat Rock Scorpion. Then the guy was like " oh it's mis labeled." So.... change it??... lol

This isn't the giant species unfortunately. I got confirmation that this one might not get much bigger and is a potential adult male, but I'm trying to figure out the real Scientific name to see what the details are.

If anyone has any care info or experience with them, I'd be very appreciative of that. I have a good ball park on care for sure just want to pick others brains cause I hear some of these like it more dry and some like it more humid. I also can't find much info in general on them but have always wanted to give one a go.
