Thanks to jean/plits for sending me such a hard to find species in Canada especially out west, both arrived safe and sound and are at the moment getting used to their new environments. Both of which are about twice as big as I originally expected them to be, about 2 inches from head to tail.
The nicely modified tictac containers they were shipped in, worked perfectly for their size.
See this seems like 3i to me, not 2i, but maybe i'm just dumb just seem a bit larger than anticipated.
Before you all say anything, yea i know my camera isn't very good but I would rather spend money on scorpions than a new camera, or maybe thats just me

oh i'm looking forward to it, there's 2 of them in identical enclosures. Neither of them are eating yet but they both have 2 crickets in there for when they decide to do it.

I was told they were 2i but from the coloration of the metasoma i'm assuming they are in actuality 3i, but then again I could be wrong but they seem a little big for 2i. Also their stinger isnt white like a juvy as you can see in the third pic.
