If you guys can tell me which specie is that I would really appreciate it so much, I posted late pictures of it in my previous thread but I guess it's not noticeable.
Thank you in advance. :)

Looks like a stripe tail but I'm bad at more specific species identifications. I'd guess paravaejovis spinigerus, but don't quote me.

Thank you so much guys for the responses, I've been searching since yesterday trying to identify that scorpion, but yeah the Buthus occitanus is more similar to it, but I still can't confirm it.... I also need to know the potency of it's venom.

Buthus occitanus is from Europe , Spain mostly - What you have is Androctonus amoreuxi.

It has very little visual similarities with the Amoreuxi, I took more pictures of it in case it could give more certainty.
It depends on the exact local of the scorpion, whether it's juvinile, adult, male or female, or whether it's a colour morph.

There is a Buthus occitanus israelis but only found in Israel.

Either amoreuxi or australis, be careful around these species there venom is not something you want t mess with.

I can't find any documentation about Buthus occitanus being in Egypt, It look almost identical to mine but there are many lookalikes among scorpions, what I also found about the B. Occitanus is that their venom varies so much according to their distribution, I don't have any information about the toxicity of the one I have, any help?... If you guys need more specific pictures that could help identifying it I can take
