You have also a nice collection :)...i hope for a long breeding in your Country!
Thanks! :) The hobby has been picking up here again. It was in a real slump from 2012-2013, but it seems to be coming back. We have at least 3 other major breeders now that are putting in major work as well (luckily with other species so we dont all just breed the same stuff). Hats off to them as well. I dont know all of their AB usernames, but I have them on facebook!

Awesome collection of scorps gromgrom, really jealous! ;)
Thank you sir! I have a round of more pairing pics to post soon this week. I recently have acquired half a dozen new projects that I am excited to work with, given I mostly downsized in 2014.

So... it turned out my villosus black female was not mature yet. Which leads me to believe the other isnt either... The thing is huge. I'm in shock at how big she turned out to be! Cant wait to pair her up again! This time for real :)



My first Tityus smithii brood (29)




My first Leiurus quinquestriatus brood! (From an old, weak female and male)


My first Hottentotta jayakari brood
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a308/Dusty_777/IMG_20150731_142523.jpg

My first Tityus asthenes brood (Ive had two since!, second picture is of brood #3)



Tityus stigmurus, my hive is now over 150 easily. Just look at all the broods and different instar specimen! I hope to eventually do this with Parabuthus transvaalicus and my other Tityus species as adults. Large scale colonies are difficult to maintain due to all the broods and food required, but are IMO the pinnacle of 'MERICA that you can do with this hobby. GO BIG OR GO HOME, USA USA USA


Parabuthus schlechteri, getting ready soon to drop


Androctonus bicolor aeneas morph, pairing my second female


Parabuthus transvaalicus, another brood. This one from a larger, brown female that my friend Envyism gave me. This was totally a surprise, he was over and I wanted to pull her and the other females into separate brooding enclosures to find her with a brood! One male was sitting next to her, and as we found them, she batted him away with her metasoma
