This is south-Africa's second most deadly scorpion, I only know its 'afrikaans' common name its "Transvaalse dikstert skerpioen" its scientific name is parrabuthus transvaalicus. I had the privilege to care for it for a little while. When I got it I fed it a baby mice and the scorpion ate it.
He could eat two crickets at a time, he hunted them without stinging them. I also fed him big stuff like grasshopper's.

So glad this will not be a hobby of my son. He does not like crawlies.
