As scorpions mature they eat less. If you can sex your scorpion it would probably answer your question. Did you ever notice male scorpions are almost always skinnier than females? But as stated before, emps go through a fasting period. Make sure you that humidity up, starving to death is just...

Whoa! Too cool. I take it you are in South Africa? It's deffinently in the genus Opistophthalmus. A very complex genus I don't even have a guess for you. Still cool though.

hahaha. It's a long since I've named any scorpion but I have had scorpions by the names Fred, Bruce, April, BK, Colin, Jasper and then I stopped naming them because I had my first brood and couldn't think up of any names. It's your scorpion. Have fun with it. (If it's especially agressive...

If it's young I might be molting but it sounds like it's an adult and it's going to die. I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it. :(

That might not be a P. cavimanus, I find it just as hard to ID some Pandinus species as Heterometrus. But......it is nearly or completly impossible to tell the age of a scorpion (and pretty much every animal in this world) without breeding records.

Physically, yes. Safetly, no. If the emp can catch one it will be all over for the C. hentzi or maybe if the much smaller C. hentzi sneeks up on the emp and give it a good sting it could kill it.

The scorpion out in the desert is an Androctonus specimen and as it crawls into the burrow it transforms into a Parabuthus.

The male shouldn't bother her but if you have a clean shot at him take him out just in case.

Great documentation. I call first in line for babies! ;P

The biggest flaw is that some scorpions depend on their burrow to be more humid to molt and birth. That is the reason why most scorpion are found under more humid vegetation litter and man-made debris. Has anybody else ever ordered wild caught adult scorpion from a arid region and found that...

Every molt has a high probability for problems in captive raising them. Sometimes it's impossible to trigger a molt sequence, sometimes the molt goes bad (takes too long or disfiures the animal beyond chance of survival) and sometimes other complications happens that are unexplained (My personal...

Give us a very well lit photo of the cauda and it will be easier to tell the difference between A. mauri and A. liouvullei. or you could try it yourself by using this link or you could do both just to be sure.

Have any of those H.j. giving you babies?

*drool* Do the scorpion hobby a favor and find your A. mauritanicus a lover. (it looks like a girl)

This topic is about V. spinigerus brood size. IF you have anything else to say to each other I suggest using PMs before the whole thread is shut down.

It seems that the contraversy here is being caused my venom and activity, maybe even looks. Lets start with venom. Hadogene troglodytes has LD50 of between 1880-2667. Hadrurus arizonensis has LD50 of between 168-198. Vaejovis spinigerus is not listed. (the lower the number the more deadly the...

IF you want to open up your options you should consider anything under the Hadogene and some from the Vaejovis genus. Regards, Marcelo P.S. Not all scorpions glow under a UV light. (proof- http://venomlist.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14043&hl=uv+light)

I agree, Pic #1 is probably a male Centruroides hentzi & Pic #2 is a Vaejovis species.

I've had two birth and I had 58 scorplings in one birth and 45 in the other.

The variety of scorpions decipates during winter time but it should be picking back up. As far as the list you provided I only found one dealer that has any (http://www.ajexotics.com/) He seems to have two species of Hottentotta. Otherwise keep your eyes on the classifieds here.
