Since I'm neither of them I will not tell you its A mauritanicus

 

[quiz]

I don't know what to say bro because I don't have any adult A.mauritanicus. All of my A.m are at 5th instar getting ready for 6th. The last pic looks A.c to me but i'm like you, I can't tell the difference between A.c and A.m. I only rely on their color sometimes.

heheheh.. hei brian by the way any tips for keeping rh.j ?

Nope thats my little secret;P ;P














Just kidding I'm in a silly mood tonight

Subadults and adults are kept in plastic boxes like this. Provide some bark so they can get off the substrate in case it becomes too wet when you water it down. I normally try to only wet about half the substrate while keeping the other half relatively dry. The babies are kept like I wrote in the Bark Scorpion thread which I am sure you read. Keep the young separated!!! I lost one to cannabalism so mine stay apart until adult


While we have this box out, lets see what is under the bark:}

Aaaaaaaaaah yes!!!! My romantic couple:clap: :clap: :clap:

well mate from the pics i'd say 1 and 4 are AM's 2 and 3 look alittle like AC...maybe its just the angle

 

[Brian S]

When they get older they will hiss at you when you disturb them. Thats the only scorp I have ever had to do that to me

 

[Scorpfanatic]

i mean seriously at that size? i only heard spinifer hissing at me after 5th instar!

 

[Brian S]

Only my adults hiss at me. For a Bark Scorpion they are just pretty fiesty even more than my C limbatus
