So I bred another one of my C. bicolor females tonight, it started off rough due to a small mishap, but turned out just fine. At this point now I believe I have two gravid females. And so it begins, I was transfering the lucky couple to the breeding container I had setup for them, but before I...

First pairing of captive true C. bicolors in the US that I am aware of. Now we wait.

Echoing what others have said in this thread, house them together, provide a substrate and plenty of options for the male to deposit his spermatophore (i.e. bark, rocks, some broken pottery shards). Cool video and cool species. Never seen a mating attempt with no substrate, in a vial, that's...

Thanks for the info G. Carnell... Mine do the exact same thing :) Yep it does sound like they are just slow growers. No need to apologize! Most the info available on these guys is in German, which I don't speak, so I've just been sort of relying on my experience with other similar...

I've only had them for about 3 weeks so I don't have any information on their growth rate yet. They've been eating like pigs since I got them though, and I'm keeping their temps in the higher range, so we shall see. You're right, they are a very beautiful species. I must admit though I was...

Thanks for the well wishes. I had great success back in the day with similar Centruroides species in regards to breeding projects so I'm fairly confident. Still though, I've got my fingers crossed, you know what they say about counting your chickens before they hatch and all that. And in the...

Understandable. They were a species that has been on my wishlist for almost decade. So I had a lot of hype/anticipation built up in my head about them. I must say they have lived up to the hype for me, maybe even surpassed it. I have a breeding group going, so with a little luck I'll have some...

Good to be "back". Only working with an iPhone for photos right now but hope to upgrade soon. C. bicolor (sub-adult female) H. buchariensis (unsexed 4i)

Definitely B. jacksoni, if the females you have aren't gravid they will be shortly so long as you house them communally.

WOW! i remember you from back in the day. i finally get my act together. sell off all my scorps, stop partying every night, and finally decide i want to get back into the hobby. check out this forum to see what has happened since i left... and THIS? THIS is the first thread i see? oh...

Well, my Israeli friend came back with no specimens, or photos... then again he is rather timid and afraid of anything that can bite/sting. Awesome ecosystem photos. Awesome. :worship:

One of my friends is on vacation in Israel for Passover. I told him to try and find some scorpions to photograph for me. I forgot to mention how small OSN's are to him though {D Either ways, good looking specimens. A very fun and unique species to keep as well.

Once they come off the mom's back, gently transfer them to a humid container of nothing but moist paper towels, a few dry ones, and maybe some cork bark. throw in either some fruit flies OR my favorite, a prekilled and sliced up adult cricket. Give them 2 days to eat it, and then pull the...

That IS awesome. I love that species more than a ton of others I kept. I wish I would have had mine until maturity. Always wanted to breed them. Are they "back" in the hobby again? they were hard to find for a while. if anyone has a good dealer offering adults or instars please PM me. :clap:

Well, I am sorry for your loss. But at the same time I am glad to see more people preserving their deceased scorps... i hesitate to call them specimens, although that is what I refer to them as these days. Something can always be learned from a preserved specimen in the future (even instars!)...

nothing wrong with taking a break. i had and bred more species of scorpions than anyone in the U.S. i have met, and had to take an entire year off (possibly more in the future). The good thing about this hobby is that if you make good friends and come back, they are very welcoming. Best of luck!

This might sound harsh. But, if you haven't thrown her away yet, try and preserve her in a jar. I currently have more preserved specimens than I do live ones :o Sad, but trust me, you will be glad.

Never been to Canada, but my "main" professor in law school is from there. Could you perhaps give me a link to the thread about it, i can't seem to find it. I hope it's in Toronto. Long live Kenny vs. Spenny and Trailer Park Boys...

Very true. They are slow growers but are the "longest" species I know of, not very "bulky" though. Mild venom too.

They should be linked to in my profile. I might need to update the link though. oh sweet, arachnocon is back on. i will definitely look into it. :clap:
