| Right guys help me out on this one will ya?
I was on reptileforumsuk and some guy is selling a "Heterometrus Bangladeshii" which i've never heard of. On scorpion files they have a similar looking scorp under the name of "heterometrus sp - india" which is probably it.
But anyway, to my point. Does the scorpion have mites on its carapace because it sure looks like it to me?

| "H. bangladeshii" is probably a name he pulled out of a certain orifice known for smelling bad.
It's either mites or dirt (seen a lot on WC specimens), I'm not sure which. | |

Yeah exactly and is trying to flog it off. Why else would you sell your pair of that species if you had one, eh? | |
