Default Scorpion ID

I took these photos last year, and still haven't got an ID for the scorpion in them. It was fairly large, as you can see by the boot prints that it's sat in. It was found on the Ugab River, in the general region of Khorixas / Uis, Namibia, Southern Africa (I can't remember exactly which location we found it at...)

Any help with an ID would be much appreciated...





Cheers,

Andy

Cheers for that - only thing I wouldn't agree with is the humidity in the caresheet... It was nowhere near 65%, and I doubt you'd get it anywhere near that high even under the scrub bushes etc... It definitely looks like a match though.

Are they readily available in the UK?
