I would very much appreciate any help with a positive ID on these two clutch mates that were sold as Heterometrus cyaneus. They are not full grown only about 4-4.5" including tail. I have raised them from about 1.5" scorplings. @Collin Clary @G. Carnell
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Much! I'm new to this whats leads to H. petersii rather than another Heterometrus sp?
Dark telson, dorsal keels on 5th metasomal segment consist of relatively minute granules, chela fairly round (even at this age), and granulation on the carapace and tergites.
