Any chance someone can help me ID this Scorpion, please? I bought it as He spinifer, but I've read that they're often misidentified in the hobby and just want to make sure.
I tried getting a photo of the bottom to see if I can sex it too, but I couldn't get a decent photo from outside the enclosure. I'm not super keen on taking it out just yet either, because it's one mean little bugger. When I brought it home, it was motioning at me with its pinchers like it was warning me to try and touch it, lol. I'm hoping it gets less unfriendly once it settles a bit.
Coming from tarantulas I knew scorpions are not quite as chilled, but I was not quite expecting this level of "screw you" from it. It was living in a tank with 4 others, so hopefully it's not gravid. I'm not keen on dealing with babies right now.
Let me know if the pics aren't sufficient and I'll try and get better ones.
