What species is my scorpion

[grogernauts]

Hello guys,

I just bought a pet scorpion from a pet expo. And the seller said it was an asian forest scorpion. What species of AFS is this? Cause i research it but still dont know the difference between each genus. I'm still learning so can anyone tell me what kind of scorpion is it.

I can't ID any scorpions but I know some people who can.

Heterometrus laevigatus??

Found this scorpion being sold as H. laevigatus, which would be very rare in the US hobby. To me it looked more like H. laoticus. Can anyone positively confirm the ID of this scorpion?

Seconding this. Surprised it wasn't the typical Heterometrus silenus circulating at expos.

I knew it looked familiar! I have a female myself.
