Is this a Desert Hairy or a Dune Scorpion?

[Fyorax]

The store labeled it as a desert hairy but he had a bunch of dune scorpions next to it and they both look similar. So im not sure how you can tell which is which. Ive been looking at other peoples desert hairy and their scorpions back are black or dark brown so i duno anymore :\ .

I believe it's not a sub species just a color morph.

Same thing just with a different color. Usually people will differentiate between the two by calling one the pale form and the other just a desert hairy.

John isn't "officially" a sub-species. I also agree that it's a color morph I've had them sucessfully produce offspring before. Anways awesome scorp I've been looking for Pallidus where in CA are you located...or rather the petshop?

Is there a way to tell the difference between a dune scorpion and a desert hairy?

 

[Stirmi]

dune scorpions have thinner tails than desert hairies in my opinion

Smeringurus mesaensis are way different looking, plus much smaller. See above.
