Thanks, what separates the desert from the many yellow desert types and the flat rock being paucidens from troglodytesYour desert specimen = Smeringurus mesaensis
Your flat rock = Hadogenes paucidens
Not sure about the desert one. (Too many for me to keep track of, at least for now) But paucidens has those yellow stripes and troglodytes doesn't. Plus I believe troglodytes gets slightly larger.Thanks, what separates the desert from the many yellow desert types and the flat rock being paucidens from troglodytes
I'm just new to scorps. last one I kept was emperor back in the late seventies.
I know right, they all kind of look the same. The easiest way is looking at their telson, metasoma, mesosoma and pedipalps.Thanks, what separates the desert from the many yellow desert types and the flat rock being paucidens from troglodytes

Thanks, what besides the reddish color to the claws help ID it as I've read that emperor's also show red in the claws at times? under overhead light it is appears blueish green as well.
Thanks much!This..

I've never seen a P. imperator with red pedipalps, a deep brownish red in certain lighting yes, but not red. Quite a few black scorpions can have that blue/green hue under certain lighting too.
No problemo.Thanks much!
