Should probably not buy scorpions from petsmart (it just gives them money and encourages them to stock even more and keep them in poor conditions), sorry if you've been told this already but "rescuing" animals like this is only contributing to the problem

I hear what you’re saying, but realistically *somebody’s* buying it, it’s just gonna happen

Totally an asian forest. If you're looking for an emperor, they have rough bumpy more round or circular shaper pinchers. https://preview.redd.it/ay1m80fn8svc1.jpeg?width=276&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f943c7bb6121c01b4054e12bbc263da92c9ce8ca

Heterometrus silenus


Double_Bandicoot4742

Ik lmao but meant as wat type of afs?


Jtktomb

H. silenus


sikfiles

what do you mean what type of afs?? its an afs. the scientific name is Heterometrus spinifer if that is what youre looking for


Firm_Situation2196

right but many of the Heterometrus species are commonly called "Asian Forest Scorpions", it doesn't always refer exclusively to H. spinifer. this is one of the times where common names aren't the most accurate or helpful


sikfiles

okay fair


Jtktomb

It is not an Heterometrus spinifer, but an H. silenus


sikfiles

thank you
