Was given mom with babies, I seperated most already but the cup was just labelled “Hottentotta”

I thought Hottentotta hottentotta but wasn’t 100%

Would love some thoughts thanks

That's a Hottentotta hottentotta, the common alligator back scorpion or however many common names people give it. They are partheneogenic and usually can have anywhere between 2-5 waves of brood in my experience.

Looks more like a Tityus stigmurus.
Nothing close to T. stigmurus.
