Yup. And a female at that.

Thanks for the chela closeups -- that's one of the more helpful ways to distinguish between some Pandinus and Heterometrus spp. Smile

There's always a little bit of color variation within a species. It's definitely not P. cavimanus if that's what you were wondering.

I understand now.
But it"s my first scorp ever, and i was having some doubts, because i'm planning a comunal setup of this species, i have a large exo terra tank 90x45x45 centimeters, in wich i plan to put about six more emps.

Either way; Emps are (usually) very communal scorpions, you could probably do it no problems at all.

good luck, Dann!

The general rule of thumb is 5 gallons per emp -- possibly more if you have enough hides offered, or if they're immature (I have four subadults in a 10-gallon).

You tank translates to around 18 gallons, so I'd say four or five adults should be OK.
