Do you know what they are supposed to be? They look very "scorpionish" to me.

First blush would be a Scorpion of some kind.. The top pic, a part of me wants to say it's some kind of a Scorp hybrid, but I could be wrong.. Bottom one looks like an unripened version of a longtail scorpion pic I saw last month...
I've seen wide variation in Butch T pod shapes, so the fact that it looks like a scorpion is probably a good sign. Wait for it to ripen and eat it. If it tears you a new one, then you got the right thing 
That second pic looks a lot like my avatar. And my avatar is a Butch T pod, it's just a little fatter at the bottom than yours, but it started out looking very much like that.

It varies from one individual pod to another, but from the time you first see them, expect them to begin doing the color change in at least 2-3 weeks, give or take. I remember getting really anxious for the color to start changing on my De Arbols after the pods stopped growing.
Fair warning though, don't freak out if it's been a month and they still haven't changed color. One of my pods took over a month to fully ripen.

Yeah the first pods are the most anxiety-ridden ones. But be prepared, if the first ones are already coming, and its the plant's first year, expect more
