- Also known as West African Ground Scorpion, Congo Red Alligator Back Scorpion
- This Old World scorpion is from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Cape Verde Islands, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo.
- This species hides underneath stones and bark, digging shallow cavities without any tunnels.
- The Hottentotta hottentotta are SAID to be parthenogenic, but this has not been scientifically proven.  My feeling is that they are either wild caught gravid females with long gestation periods, or they exhibit Amphigonia Retardata (Females can store sperm; they can litter several times without any additional matings occurring. Increasingly smaller litters are to be expected, however).  Possibly the wild caught females are storing sperm for quite some time?
​- Pectine count = 
♂ 25 - 29; ♀ 22 - 26
- This species is very HOT!
- Averages 2"-3" in length
- Inside this huge distribution area different populations with different morphological and color-related varieties appear.
