Hhhmmmm, I'm the prankster in my family and my mom always said I was a joke! ROFLOL Besides that I'm the "odd" one in the family, the "black sheep" so to speak. Everyone smoked, I don't, they all drank beer/hard liquor, I don't, they all like coffee, I hate it, they all look "normal" and I...

LOL I prefer calling them my kids verses calling them pets. Most scorps are far from pet quality. LOL

Mine stays hidden all the time too. That's ok with me though; as long as it is comfortable. I still see it when I water the cactus in the enclosure. When I start pouring the water it comes out to see what's going on, not in a violent or protective manner, just walks around the enclosure with...

The desert hairy isn't. It is a good sized scorp though reaching between 5 and 6 inches when full grown. I believe it is one of the largest found naturally in the US though. The emperor is one of the largest reaching about 8 inches long with reports up to 9 inches. I looked in on them this...

Sorry the pics aren't the best. I took them with my camera phone so I'll take better ones later. However, I purchased two new scorps today at the Reptile Expo in Salt Lake City, UT. I got a Desert Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis) and I broke down and baught a gorgous Emperor. It is...

No problem. Just keep in mind that no matter who you go through, if one happens to die in shipping, none of them will refund your money, they will give you the credit towards another scorpion when you mail the dead one back but you have to pay for the shipping again which is between $25 and...

I've baught all mine from Botar so far. Problem is you need to check his site DAILY because he moves his scorps so fast it is sometimes hard to get what you want but he keeps his site updated constantly! Before Botar I tried ordering from GHerp (Glades Herps) and Krazy 8's and once from Swifts...

For thick Chleas I like these choices: Heterometrus fulvipes Heterometrus spinifer or laoticus Iomachus politus Opistophthalmus wahlbergi Scorpio maurus palmatus Uroctonus mordax Diplocentrus spitzeri Smeringus vachoni

Look at the vesicle and telson (the parts directly behing the actual pointed stinger). It is a clear indication of emperor or not. The emperor's is a reddish-brown color while the others is black like the rest of its metasoma and body. There is no gray area here.....you have one or the other...

I have 9 scorps and only 1 has a name. It is Little Buddy and he's an LQ.

I agree. If they are still in there overnight, the scorps aren't hungry. Try again in a few days.

Whow. That's definately a lot of mouths to feed! LOL

That's really cool! I bet the forest species would really thrive at our place with those natural temps and humidity.

True. Just shows that many "climates" can work. But, I live in a desert area which I'm sure has a lot to do with it too whereas people who live in Washington or Oregon or other states with really high humidity would have a more difficult time with desert species and do really well with the...

Once again it shows how everyone is different in keeping their scorps. I have all my scorps in my bedroom and my bedroom is between 78 and 85 degrees F during the day and rather chilly at night with the window open; down to about 45 to 50 degrees F. Right now my thermometers are on 75 degrees...

Whow! That's amazing! I only have a Hottentotta trilineatus for the Hottentotta spp. but it's doing fine. Haven't had any problems at all. I keep mine in a dry, desert condition. I have two live cactus in the enclosure that get watered when needed and I keep a water dish in there in case it...

A lid is definately needed. It keeps the scorp in and everything and everyone else like pets and kids out. Also, be aware that some scorps have the ability to jump even though it is rare!

Look at the pectines under it. If they come to a point and touch or nearly touch it is a male, if they have a large gap and do not come close to touching then it is a female. Here is a link to my page of the photos that I saved. Great pics and easy to understand the sexing...

I couldn't imagine having such a deadly species so commonly wondering and crawling all over my home. Of course, if you grow up with it, that is what you know and learn to live with! But do we really learn the lessons? Every time the waitress says "the plate is hot", I always touch it to find...

Pretty cool man, pretty cool!
