Dang! I have to get me some H. hottentotta! :drool:
No, it is well known that many species of the family Buthidae do not have a numerus fixus when it comes to molting....They sometimes molt an extra time, or one less time....That's why you can encounter small, medium and large adults (size classes). You will that these 'large' females, will give birth to more young.Is it odd that one reaches 8i?
That is interesting, although it is probably sort of obvious.No, it is well known that many species of the family Buthidae do not have a numerus fixus when it comes to molting....They sometimes molt an extra time, or one less time....That's why you can encounter small, medium and large adults (size classes).

I am guessing you refer to that it is obvious that larger females give birth to more young?? Yes, there is a direct correlation between body size of the maternal female and the number of offspring.....That is interesting, although it is probably sort of obvious.
You would be right, sorry, I didn't make it clear enough.I am guessing you refer to that it is obvious that larger females give birth to more young?? Yes, there is a direct correlation between body size of the maternal female and the number of offspring.....
Ahhh...Its good to be back (internet was down for a week or so). Yes, I got 24 from Vix and I think I had some minor cannibalism, so I'll separate them today. Darn sibling rivalry. I've taken a few pics, and Ill post those eventually, when I fix my usb port. Do you know the time from sling to adult to pop? I cannot wait! Kudos to Vixvy, for his awesome collection!Sry for late reply. If i'm not wrong, you are getting from Vixvy right?
He has great healthy specimens. Congrats! & do post some pics up when you can

totally understandable! I'm running out of space with my few that I have. I suppose I'll have to build another section to my house?...
For the rest of my HH broods, due to space/time restrictions, i can only house them communally among scorplings and i have one batch of scorplings housed with their mum.
