That looks like Apistobuthus pterygocercus, but Apistobuthus pteryocercus belonging to the Buthidae family, and coming from desert areas, it is important to consider this species with a very great prudence. Aggressiveness is extremely variable according to the sex, the individual and the temperature (usually, higher the temperature, faster and more aggressive the scorpion), thus it is advisable to be very careful with this species.

This species must be considered very cautiously. Indeed, since Apistobuthus pterygocercus belongs to the Buthidae family, known for the dangerousness of most of its members, keeping this species is inadvisable to the beginners as a pet. I got two!!...he he.
