In Iran severe complications are known from the sting of H. lepturus. Severe and fatal haemolysis, secondary renal failure, deep and necrotic ulcers, ankylosis of the joints, psychological problems and death are reported complications. A clinical study from a region in Iran shows that H. lepturus is responsible for 12 % of the reported stings, but is responsible for 95 % of the mortalities (The other dangerous scorpion in the area is Androctonus crassicauda)!

The LD50 value for this species is 5.81 mg/kg. This value is not particulary low, but due to the serious effects of the cytotoxic venom, this is a highly dangerous species.

my afs getting bigger already.
now i don't even have the nerve to handle it lol.

mind if i ask, when a female scorpion giving birth, should the male be separate from the female or can just leave it there?

Heterometrus spinifer= Dark green color, smooth chela
Heterometrus swammerdami= Dark brown color, chela granulated like emperor
Heerometrus madrapatensis= Dark green/blue color, yellow leg, granulated chela

But those are just physical different, to identify them accurately u will need to look for their granulation pattern on their carapace
Each sp have different pattern
