My favourite scorpion. They look like they're robots.

Gravid or ready to moult?

Yeah, that's a really nice looking scorpion. As a side note, are there any other scorpions with really massive tails like that outside of buthids? Looking for ones that have really weak venom.

Looking for ones that have really weak venom.

The size of the tail literally shows how venomous it is
There might be exceptions? But I can't think of any on the top of my head. All the Andrctonus are pretty deadly

Not really but a lot of Paravaejovis have decently fat metasomas.

Not true. Leiurus has a thin tail, for example

Nope

I just got a Tunisia fattail how often should I feed it? I've had it for 2 days now I gave him a small cricket yesterday an today. I also got a zoo med heating pad I put it under the tank should I always keep it on?

Although they don't have a tail as thick as this beautiful scorpion I've recently bought a Paravaejovis confusus for the "hot" look but without needing a DWA license (UK). They have slight claws with a reasonably thick tail.

Paravaejovis spinigerus as well, they are also quite angry little things.

Nice. Free wild caught broods are always a bonus lol

Is there any known biological purpose behind this massive metasoma in some Buthid species?

That's a bloody good question. Never thought about that before as death stalkers only have slight tails. I can only guess it's down to maybe having to have the power to drive their sting into hard prey like beetles etcetera.

That is a very sound theory, thanks!
