Welcome to the forum

I'm not a scorpion person, so I can't be much help as to the identification..

Kinda looks like a deathstalker, but I don't know much about scorpions. Might want to ask on Arachnoboards.com Best arach website I know of.

Re: Hey Guys :D

My guess would be a Hottentota complex juvenile (I guess they're called instars? Look Here, last picture before the Mesobuthus section).

Again, I'm no expert, but that seems like a really good fit. I'm pretty sure yours is just a teeny baby in any case, because it doesn't have the bulbous stinger present in the rest of those pictures.

I think you're right...

Scorpions of the genus Hottentotta (Birula, 1908)
