beautiful colours it has!

I had a couple of these back when they were still thought to be Mesobuthus, sold them within a month!
Far too quick and dangerous for me :D might have been H.t.sindicus though, but both are really pretty scorpions

I think as far as Buthids go, Hottentotta is such an awesome genus, always entertaining and come in many colour combinations between species!

Thanks.The hottentotta species are by far my favorite.This species are quick to get defensive.Will not hesitate to try and tag you.This one molted from 3i -4i in 24 days.

I've been waiting for it to molt to rehouse it in a bigger enclosure.

These are neat.. kinda looks like someone spliced together Hadrurus, centruroides, and paruroctonus.

How 'fast' are yours compared to other buthids/hottentotta?

I remember mine being ridiculously fast and easy to sting, one of the reasons i got rid of them within a few months!!!
Love other hottentottas though, these guys are just scary :p

There fast as hell.Real quick to get defensive,but there good eaters.I've always treated all of mine like there deadly.I don't stick my hands into the enclosure.Hottentotta are my favorite species.As soon as the female hardens up and eats a few times.I'm going to put the male in with her.Hopefully get a brood by the end of the year.
