Nice looking scorp. Looks like he's been branded or tatooed. The little raised markings on its body is pretty cool.

 

[Aztek]

You're so lucky.
I really want one.

 

[~Abyss~]

I got one :}. Nice species. Can't wait for mine to molt.

It's referred to as h. caboverdensis now, the subspecies was done away with. The species itself was actually done away with in a recent paper (merged with h. hottentotta) but I don't agree with it so it will continue to be h. caboverdensis for me.

I love hottentottas, I have 3 diff species of this genus so far.

 

[brandontmyers]

I feel the same way. I still want to call it H. caboverdensis, but I don't want controversy, haha. Before you know it, you'll have a good bit of babies too.

No mating. I believe they are parthenogenetic.

 

[Nungunugu]

Jep they are parthenogenetic

All have molted. Some have started out in the real world.

It is H.caboverdensis.
The species was synonymized without any justification by Kovarik some months ago. Our recent paper on H.caboverdensis' parthenogenesis/life cycle re-elevated it again to species (without any justification of course, as all is in our first description of this new species). A systematic paper (DNA comparison with continental H.hottentotta) is going to be published soon.
