My B smithi sling or rather large pre-juvenile. I don't get to see him too often. He likes hiding in his hollow resin log and so I took this photo of him. He's really grown a lot since his last shed.

Here is the more interesting of my two M balfouri slings. This one is always doing a LOT of webbing and making all kinds of tunnels and such. The other one is content with three long burrows and a ton of webbing I'm constantly having to remove from the lid.

I'd left him for a while and was just remoistening his substrate. I've always been of the belief that these animals shouldn't be fussed over and feel you should disturb them as little as possible. He came out to see what was going on

He's not the biggest. He's just starting to get some more juvenile features in fact. My three H petersii are very shy and you don't see them often. Unlike my M gibbosus

Another photo of one of my 5 M gibbosus drinking. They're all relatively similar sized, but ones quite tiny and the other is approaching adulthood. This is one of the medium ones, having a sip of water off one of his bark hides.

Just before taking a drink. I mist very very lightly. As a more dry variety they immediately notice and you can tell if they want a drink or not. If they do, they'll raise up at the front, anticipating more. At which stage I use a small 3ml syringe to add a few drops of water to bark for them

Despite people saying scorpions drinking is a rare sight to see, mine are regular drinkers. I just mist an area of their enclosure and they head right over to it, where upon I use a syringe to add a bit more water.

@ScorpionObsession The ones I've seen appear all female in that case. I'll have to have a good look now I know the discerning details but from memory they were all smooth

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens sling not too long after molting. Nice colouring and some nice little decorating it's done.

Second photo of my young P fasciata. Just about to be moved to a bigger cup. Not a very responsive eater. Considering tracking down something exotic to stimulate it's appetite more.

Was wondering if anyone could help with sexing. To be frank, I've never seen those two little bits under there before on another scorpion. Guess it's cos these guys are ALWAYS on display where as my others are hiders. These guys climb the walls regularly.

Just sitting in it's enclosure. Substrate is mix of sand, coconut coir and vermiculite with a bit of wood for hiding.

One of my larger M gibbosus attacking and stinging a meal worm. To be honest I don't think the meal worm even got punctured. Was a great little battle. Much more responsive feeders than my other scorpions.
