I was always into C. gracilis from Central America as well as C. margaritatus. I only had two full grown adults (C. gracilis) that I bred (I recently got rid of them, but the pair yielded a huge number in their largest breeding together [bred them 4 times] and the little ones did great in only a...

As for being "Brazilian", no, Centruroides gracilis is not. Your best bet on locating exact collection locale, is to locate the collector who your distributor obtained them from. The species is from: Africa; Canary Islands (introduced), North America; Mexico (Campeche, Chiapas, Guerrero...

hmmm...let's piss the scorp off by tossing it into a container and stressing it out so it will not attack first and see which wins. *lol* What a gratifying scientific study that is. Sounds to me like they don't know much about scorpions or like them in any way. Camel spiders, on the other hand...

While looks can be decieving, the first scorpion pictured appears to be of the Centruroides genus. Without calling a relative to properly translate the info for me, I'll make an assumption that the circumstances of this test were not stated as to whether the scorps were at their own burrow or...

Yes, there are species of them which are native to the SW USA, but the US species also do not grow as large as the species from the middle-eastern countries, so do keep that in mind (most I've seen on dealer lists in the US were no more than 2 inches, so they would most likely be a prey item for...

Centis, like scorps, Ts, true spiders and yes, even "camel spiders" (solfugids [sp?]) can easily become the prey in the right situation. A lot depends on the size of both individuals. As I'm sure you noticed, the scorp was in the open and not aggressing the camel spider but rather attempting to...

see my edit from last night into the thread-starting post... {D The camel spider does have a very soft exoskeleton in comparison to a scorpion's and all scorpions have their prey and predators in certain areas. While the camel spider can take a narrow clawed scorpion, they'd rarely live to...

After a quick search through a lab and through the "Catalog of the Scorpions of the World", the species list of Croatia is the five listed by Kaos as being 100% positive. I'd have to search the entire catalog to find all the possible species, but M. gibbosus is not listed as being there, though...

After finally getting to watch the video myself, I'd have to say it's either a Parabuthus or Androctonus (though there are obviously several species it could be, considering the lack of clarity of the video). As for definitely not being A. australis, I have kept a very dark color variant of A...

Occasionally they are available on dealer lists as well as pet stores. I had a one that was imported from Israel (I think, as there wasn't much info avail from the seller at the time). While they are very aggressive and fast, they also have a difficult time eating small prey items such as...

I received an E-mail a while back from Victor Fet and this site was included in it. I'm posting it for anyone who either has ability to play Quicktime video files (.mov) or is interested enough in seeing a scorpion being killed by a "camel spider, wind scorpion, wind spider" aka solfugid (sp?)...

I have an 8'x2'x2' double enclosure (one atop the other in a one-piece design standing 4' tall, plus wheels) which is almost completely self-sustaining, which one half currently houses a species of slightly smaller size than C. gracilis, which will remain unnamed. I have proof, but I can't post...

Carpe Scorpio, Yes, there are more Tityus species than T. serrulatus being kept in the US. I'll leave that question at that. What species or information are you curious about? PM me or, for a faster response, E-mail me at ed_9172002@yahoo.com. adios, edw.

I've given numerous "flying roaches", aka: palmetto bugs, to scorpions and they did quite well with them, considering the roaches can fly and climb very well (I did have to keep them off the sides of the enclosure for certain scorps to have better access to them, but it wasn't as often as one...

Just because the scorp had another molt left, does not mean that she was not sexually mature. I had a C. margaritatus give birth and within two months after the young came off her back, she molted. The young did fine, though due to her size, I'm positive it was her final molt. I don't know what...

The USPS has regulations against shipping scorpions but there are a number of ppl who I've spoken with in the past who disregard their regs and do it anyway. My preferred methods of shipping are UPS and Fed-Ex, even though there are many complaints about both. I do believe there is a Yahoo...

There are a number of ppl who have acquired scorpions titled O. ecristatus within recent months. If they have had success breeding the species, you may want to speak with some of them, due to the fact that all that have been properly identified, have been identified as Opisthacanthus. I am...

If O. ecristatus shows up somewhere, it was incorrectly identified and is not really O. ecristatus (most likely due to coloration) or illegally imported (their native location has extreme limits on export). I have kept the species in the past and have never heard them hiss, nor have I heard of...
