That's a P imperator, Emperor scorpion. You can tell by the granulation on the chela among other things. I have some pretty small ones that throw a sting at anything invading their tank (my hand, brushes, etc.).

If you get a shot of its tail in one of your photos, we can confirm -- sounds like it's a juvenile (white or light brown telson instead of dark brown). Most immatures are more feisty than adults.

I would have to concur with Andrew and Mike on this one. Let's see the tail.
