Parabuthus transvaalicus?

Postby Apeman » Wed Oct 07, 2009 2:14 pm

Hi
I am new to keeping scorpions I think this is a Parabuthus transvaalicus? I found this one in northern Botswana it seems that there are a lot around here. I feed it all kinds of insects what ever I can catch I am not sure how much a scorpion eats? Can anyone confirm what type of scorpion this is?
Thanks

Looks like P. granulatus which is found in Botswana.

Definately not P.transvaalicus, would agree with P.granulatis

Cool thanks. I think the tail dose not have any hair on it like the transvaalicus.
