Well frankly, the main difference between imperator and dictator is one is green and one is black. Obviously arachnologists will note pectine counts and pedipalp granulation, among many other things I'm sure, but from what I've observed they have same care requirements and similar behaviour...

Fascinating discussion. I feared it was another tiresome "coolest" scorpion thread. I've always been interested in venom toxicology. Unfortunately, published texts are prohibitively expensive. Great examination of a complex topic.

You just posted the title of my wife's worst nightmare...and the subject of her murder trial.

Wow, impressive!

Magnificent! Definitely on my list.

Awesome pics! Species indentification please.

If you use pure clay it will harden like rock. The problem is your scorpion will instinctually try to tunnel and may damage its pedipalps and chelicerae if the substrate is too hard. The 3:1 sand/ clay mix will work well and you can make starter tunnels by using dollar store balloons (the ones...

Wait until she gets seven inches!

Excellent additions! Love me some Parabuthus

Excavator is great; just make sure you use it with sand in a 1 to 3 mixture otherwise it gets too hard. It's great to watch them tunnel. I keep mine bone dry. I subscribe to the theory that desert species get the majority of their required water from their prey. I offer water once per month...

That would have been Bruce Carr of Arachnophilliacs. I have gotten most of my stock from Bruce, good guy. Cheers.

Good evening. I noticed my A versicolor has become largely unresponsive after her last moult. She is an adult approximately fours years old. Always a good eater and actively webs, she has always been in excellent health. She moulted about three days ago and the moult appears good, but now...

Very nice pics. Did you keep the M/F communially or introduce individually?

Androctonus.

So far it is Tityus stigmurus. My A crassicauda is very active during the day, so also very interesting to watch.

I love my T stigmurus, and she's looking very gravid:)

Excellent. If you have any other interesting inverts surplus to your needs let me know. Cheers!

Yup, should've looked closer. Oh well.

I'm just thrilled to see another Canuck scorp lover - and in BC! Please keep us apprised of their progress. I know I would be interested if you establish a sucessful breeding program. I was in the Philippines last year and saw some really cool spiders and beetles, but no scorpions...

Amazingly beautiful specimens! You're very fortunate:troll:!
