nice winders, I think the people who shudder the most are those that have been bitten by a rattlesnake, myself included... In no way am I telling you what to do when you encounter such amazing animals...(at least you are not needlessly killing them) I have to constantly remind myself...

I think at one time I kept most of what I wanted, but never Centruroides from southern mexico... that still has to be on my list of wants.. along with a few species of Opistophthalmus and Hottentotta/Tityus... one day though maybe..

yep, beware the Hottentotta... I got tagged by a 2nd instar once... intense pain, felt "hungover" for two days, put a damper on the weekend. nuthin compared to the C. cerastes bite I took on my pinky...ICU trip for a couple days...that put a "damper" on a whole month or so...I definitely...

It must be the scabies then cause I think the chiggers like the humidity more thanks for the help, I was just hoping it was not an allergic reaction to the dry vegetation.

Ok did a search here and turned up nothing... I love venturing out in the desert in search of critters and just to see new places here in Arizona cause it is awesome.. I have been out a few times so far now that it has warmed up a bit and I usually wear shorts as it is HOT here. I usually...

whatever species they are, I think they are pretty cool looking scorpions, they sure are "pinchy" though Darrell

Hi, I live in Scaryvale (Maryvale) I used to have alot of inverts, but now am in school for Lab technician and have a limited amount of time for taking care of alot of stuff. Darrell. Oh yeah and I work full time graveyards in the microbiology department of a large reference lab here in phoenix

Is there anyone who knows the whereabouts of Peter_Parker now? Darrell,

I have never heard of that species being communal, nor have I kept any Opistopthalmus communally. A ten gallon tank seems a bit small for even two in the same enclosure. Darrell

Hi I think with the ones you just got try to keep them dry and separate, to see if all the babies come out with "Gertschi" markings. it would be neat to see if there are any regular morphs in the brood. Just a thought. Darrell.

I have A pretty cobalt blue, some large H. schmidti,as well as other old world tarantulas, I have often thought of them as really pretty and fuzzy and probably won't make me itch like new worlders until a large H. schmidti latched onto a plastic toothbrush I was using to gently nudge her on a...

Nice, I like how they line up in rows. they are neat scorpions. Darrell

Why.. arizona of course:rolleyes: Darrell

I found them at night in 85-90 degree temps. they live in mouse holes and cracks in the dirt, they can handle high temps but would benefit from a small water dish filled once and a while, though not as damp as tropical spp of Whip scorps. and Of course a vertical hide. good luck Darrell.

Nice pics, except the first ones are not "Barks" they are Vaejovids. Darrell

It is wild caught Darrell.

Hello Eric, Nice pictures and very neat spp of scorpions, they remind me of Diplocentrus spp. here. Darrell.

Thanks, I thought it was Miami-Dade fire rescue.

I know they are still trying to develop a better anitivenin for our bark scorp here in AZ, however isn't there a venom unit somewhere in Miami? I have seen numerous venom related shows on them, however whether or not they have Leiurus or Androctonus venom treatments is irrelevent if you have...

Nice, the back of an adult H. judaicus Kind of looks like an alligator, {D Funny how weird common names get
