My 4th Instar H. polystictus (Very Fat). This is very aggressive and can take down crickets bigger than him!!!

Yes the P. trans is nearing a molt. It has slowed down its eating (thank god).


The M. tamulus are absolutely beautiful, but they are really aggressive and fast. I would say they are more of a handful than my L. quinquestriatus.

The fat M. tamulus is the most aggressive by far and has quite a powerful cauda when it tries and stings.

I had three M. tams and one did die through an unexpected death.

These two I haven't found difficult, just keep them warm and I offer a little water in a corner every 2 weeks or so.

Raising the humidity seems to initiate the molt.

Yes the Tam's are lovely scorps (deadly though).

The Hottentotta Poly/trilineatus is a real gem. It will kill all crickets that come near it whether hungry or not.

The most docile scorpion is th eP. trans. she is a real calm and has not yet once tried to sting me or go in a defensive position. Maybe she's too fat and lazy {D

Walton,

How much are you paying per specimen? Temperatures in my neck of the woods prohibits shipping at this time but if you have any for sale come April/May, we CAN work something out!
