I would say Uroplectes sp, most probably U.flavoviridis. L.burdoi is much more cryptically coloured than this specimen.

That is Pseudolychas ochraceus, harmless to humans, their venom will probably just give you a bit of an itch.

Why only Opistophthalmus species from the scorpion side? What about all the Hadogenes species that are being wiped out by mining operations?

The first one is definitely a Parabuthus species but I can't say which species from the photo. The second one looks like Uroplectes carinatus.

Yes, Jonathan Leeming's book is good for tne more frequently found scorpions. There are only a few genus of scorpions in SA so it's easy to identify the genus but the species is another ball game. First thing is to check the size of the pincers and tail, if it has small pincers and a fat tail then y...

Opistophthalmus capensis. They can give a painful knock but nothing serious.

They will climb onto the mother's back when she has finished giving birth, they will then molt to 2nd instar, this can take anything from a few days to two weeks. After another few days they will climb off and continue to harden they new exoskeleton. You can start feeding them a week after they have...

Lexer is correct. Definitely P.planicauda and very close to giving birth, embryos are clearly visible.

Most common dead on road snakes I find are Boomslang and Olive house snakes. They are abundant in the Wilderness area.

Awesome finds!
The first one is definitely P. granulatus, the second one I'm not so sure of but I would also say O.carinatus.

Not Parabuthus. It is probably Pseudolychas pegleri. They are known to enter homes in the Gauteng region.
They are not medically important but I would still be cautious with a 2 year old.

Cerberus is the multi headed dog that guards the Underworld in Roman myth.

I can see that your spelling is just as bad as iluvsnakes'.

Definitely Opistacanthus capensis. They are like cockroaches down here in the Western Cape.
