So you think you know scorpions?

[sir scorpsalot]

hey all,

The guy at the pet shop had no idea, so i thought you could tell me what type of scorp i have.

its an australian native and it's body is about 2 inches long.

would you possibly be able to tell me what sex it is as well?

thanks heaps! :worship:

 

[Schlyne]

Are you sure that's an australian native? It looks a lot like a flat rock scorpion.

 

[Canth]

Liocheles. Possibly waigiensis (sp?)

 

[sir scorpsalot]

well you cant import scorps to oz, and the pet shop guy thought it was. (even though he didnt know the species.

 

[LongDucDong]

I agree with Jared, Id guess Liocheles, but maybe australaise? :?

 

[pandinus]

liocheles sp.

 

[pandinus]

Eric Ythier lists the species of liocheles in Australia as:
Liocheles australasiae australasiae
Liocheles extensus
Liocheles karschii
Liocheles litodactylus
Liocheles polisorum
Liocheles waigiensis
not an easy task IDing species level from pics alone. range would probably help.

 

[Alakdan]

I have those. That is a Liocheles waigiensis.
They are also found in the Philippines. Pics are WC male found in the tropical rainforest of the main island Luzon. Males have a a "tooth" on the movable finger (tarsus).

 

[Down-Under]

I have them to :}

Duh. I should have looked at your location :wall:

I think it's female as well.

 

[pinchythescorp]

all of these scorpions are native to australia and found in N.S.W

Brown Scorpion, Urodacus manicatus: body length 5-7 cm.

Desert Scorpion, Urodacus yaschenkoi: body length 7-12 cm.

Marbled Scorpion, Lychas marmoreus: body length 2-4cm.

Wood or Forest Scorpion, Cercophonius squama: body length 2.5-4.5 cm.

i am not 100% sure but it might be a Urodacus manicatus
and were did you find it anyway?

BABIES ( or mites, but i hope babies )

i searched a few threads on how to deal with emp babies but is there anything i should do differently with mine?

or is it just the whole : leave them alone, separate them in time business.?
