lychas mucronatus scorpling eating, these guys are tiny so the focus is pretty poor:

Hi,

Compsobuthus werneri, female and a pic of a part of my scorpion tanks.

Greetings

how nice one Alex!
never seen that scorp before ;-)

is it related to mesobuthus by any chance? (except buthid wise)
looks very alike..

 

[fusion121]

Very nice, I'm trying to get some compsobuthus myself but the collector is not being very helpful

Yes Compsobuthus species are closely related to mesobuthus (and liobuthus if my memory serves), they seem to be quite distinctive in appearance though.

Tank where I keep my scorplings:

Are these the Compsobuthus from Israel? The dealer I dealt with was too vague for me, I didn't trust him much... :wall: :wall:

Sharon ?

Beautiful, Alex
Unfortunately young Compsobuthus spp are soooooo tiny and grow toooooooo slowly

 

[smalltime]

This guy was Israeli (?) and didn't speak english too well...I think he caught his own scorps, but the only thing he knew was that it was Compsobuthus. He had others but didn't really want to tell me what... :?

I was wondering why this awsome genus isn't well represented in the hobby trade...

....lol

 

[fusion121]

....lol

I'm confused...what so funny?

Hi,

no, my specimens don´t come from Sharon. And yes, they are growing very slowly indeed. The scorplings were born in August and only one of them molted twice since then. They are coming from israel originally. Further pictures (better ones than mine) can be seen at www.skorpione.de -> galerie -> index -> C. werneri. I´ve got another picture: Chaerilus celebensis from the Phillipines:

Greetings

[fusion121]

fantastic, I've never even seen a picture of that genus.

 

[G. Carnell]

WOW!
finally another pic of this fabled genus!

that is a very special scorp!

nothing just the "I didn't trust him" of smalltime, and you say this name

Oh well I wasn't implying anything...yet

Hi,

1.) Apistobuthus pterygocercus, male
2.) Scorpio maurus fuscus
3.) Paraorthochirus sp.

Greetings

[Ythier]

wow Alex, your last picture is really great, it's very difficult to take a good photo of Orthochirus because of the metasoma
Greetings,
