I made another thread here called "my Androctonus collection" about half a year ago, but as I couldn't edit the title of it now, I thought the best would be to make a new thread.

Thought I could share some old and new pictures from my scorpion collection:


Parabuthus transvaalicus, freshly molted to 5th instar.


Same specimen three to four weeks later.


1.0 P. liosoma


0.1 P. mossambicensis


1.0 P. villosus


0.1 P. pallidus


0.1 P. schlechteri 3rd instar.


P. planicauda 2nd instar.


1.0 P. laevifrons


0.1 Parabuthus sp. This species is either P. schlechteri or P. raudus, hopefully I'll get the ID clear soon.


Centruroides arctimanus around 4th instar.


1.0 Adult animal of the same species.


1.0 C. chiapanensis.


Mating couple of same species.


C. nigrescens 4-5th instar.

I'll post pics of my other species soon.

Centruroides are the best.

You have many I want.:evil: :evil: :evil:

Thanks a lot all.
Alexi: In this post, P. means Parabuthus. But there are other genuses that starts with the letter P, so it can be an abbreviation of other genus names too.

I put the full genus name, Parabuthus, under the first picture, and then followed with the abbreviation until I came to a new genus. This is not the correct way to do it, but hopefully people understand it:)

Some more pictures:


Centruroides elegans with 1st instars.



Same female with 2nd instars.


Parabuthus planicauda, 4th instar.


Centruroides limbatus, 5th instar.


Centruroides limbatus, gravid female.


1.0 Parabuthus villosus orange morph, adult. I will put him together with my female this week.


1.0 Androctonus baluchicus, adult.


0.1 Androctonus mauritanicus, freshly molted to adulthood.

EDIT: Wrong name on the P. villosus. It's naturally not a black morph, it's an orange morph.
