I just found what I think is a baby of the same species.It's a little longer than a centimeter.I think it has just molted,and that's why it's that kinda golden white color.Tell me what you guys think!

It's in a 2oz deli cup:


Here is a size reference to my pinky finger:

And here's the habitat:

Here is the 3rd one that I found.It's like 7 mm longer than the first 2.It's also quite a bit darker.Do you think this is a different sp.,colorform,or a sexual dimorphism?:




Thanks everybody!

the pic with the adults on the rules i see a male and a female

the last pic shows 2 males 1 females based on this

i can see a little size difference in the claws shape and ridges ext.
the color is a bit darker on females and that is showing in those pics
the females body is a bit wider that the males (just my input guys)

i believe you have 1 female and 2 males and 1 youngin

the little guy looks to be the same species

go find some more haha

The more I look at them the more attractive they are. Very nice thick tails, bulky bodies, and fat claws--Yes, find some more and start breeding them native species

I will definately be finding more so we can get these in the hobby.The only thing is that I have no experience with breeding scorpions,so I will be looking for experienced breeders to breed them for the most part.

Those are a really awesome NA species! There are plenty of people I'm sure who would love to get a few, including myself!

Just thought I'd bump this thread up to see if anyone wanted to take a crack at IDing them?The baby I found has almost doubled in size.I still have the same 4 specimens.It's started to warm up,so I should be able to go find more soon.

 

[telow]

im still on the same id on these but from a pic its gonna be a guess
let me know when you get a couple more and ill get you a id asap after that

It's starting to warm up a lot,so I reckon they'll be out soon.I've already found 2 other species that I found a lot of last year,but the spot is different than where I found these guys.
