hi, I have this heterometrus spinifer i've been told but got some feedback it is something else.
Please help me identifying the species.
I already know it's a female and I would like to breed her. can I do that with a petersii or another heterometrus species? IMG_0146.JPG IMG_0173.JPG IMG_0179.JPG IMG_0182.JPG IMG_0183.JPG IMG_0181.JPG

Most likely Heterometrus petersii

H.spinifer is usually a shiny black, with a 'spike' (= tubercle) on the segment before the claws

You can mate scorpions within the same species (ie H.spinifer with H.spinifer)
Some people have managed to mate different species together, but this should lead to infertile babies, or no babies at all IIRC
