They are both vids of the same scorp, some one emailed me asking for an ID (I thought the quality of the video was poor also) he called it a 'black desert scorpion' I thought Heterometrus my self. That is why I'm throwing it out to the AB community for some help.To me it looks like a liocheles species, but those videos are of terrible quality, who in they're right mind would post them.Personally I'd be embarassed.
It may be underfed and have the appearance of thinness due to undernourishment? I emailed him back asking for some clearer pics and details of its origins, as I've never heard of the 'Black desert scorpion' (except in the Linkin Park vid, and the Mummy and Scorpion King movies,
)
I can actually see the resemblance now especially the V metasoma segment being very long, if this is actually a characteristic of the Nebo. Thanks for all the help here, I need to look at it more and wait for more info from 'him'.
That's a good point, I never have seen any of my Heteros sting anything...Thaedion, I didn't see a difference really. I just didn't think a Heterometrus species would waste it's time to sting it.

Thank you, and thanks to ever one for all your help, I did give all credit for the information I passed on to him to the AB community and gave him the links to this and the quoted article above for further help.
