Love my WC Desert Hairy Scorpions

[702Mitch]

I live in Las Vegas got to take my first spring trip out to the desert. Collected some Desert Hairy and two female sidewinders. Theyll be joining my scorp collection. So theyre still in containers and i believe them to be a male and female. Would you guys be able to positively idenfity them and sex them?

Thank you this is my first post!

You would need ventral shots of them.

Can't sex them without ventral shots but they are definitely Hadrurus arizonensis

You need to ventral shots Which are on the underside of the scorpion. I also honestly wouldn’t keep them on gravel like that. If it isn’t too much trouble could u take a pics of the sidewinder? I find them to be one of the coolest snakes and would love to see pics.

#1 as others have said the gravel substrate is not suitable for them. They are obligate burrowers and need several inches (the more the better) of the proper medium to do so, such as a sand/excavator clay mixture.

#2 They cannot be accurately sexed without clear ventral shots.

#3 Images of the Crotalus cerastes are required!!!!
