Fresh molted P. liosoma

[steve055]

Well after a month of thinking this scorp was gravid, due to its VERY round shape. (think small golf ball). I was surprised to find it freashly molted today.

dude, nikon cams r always the way to go. good detail. hopefully we'll see some of ur scorp eating.

 

[scorpio]

Yeah. I have a Coolpix 2500, but its hard focusing on close ups. Hard time getting pics of my little scorps

Wonderfull scorpion!
There's a possibility that i get one in the near (very near) future.

A small note here to add that the species name changed to
parabuthus leiosoma instead on p.liosoma.
This info was taken from the usual suspect...The Scorpion Files

What is the substrate that you're keeping her?
I read the care sheet in your site but the substrate in the above photos doesn't look like sand to me.
Also temp and humidity suggestions from anyone would be nice.
Thanks

Beautiful scorp. The colors on a freshly molted scorp are always amazing.

What kind of substaret are you using? Im keeping one on pure peat a little guy hoping mine molts.

 

[steve055]

im using a pure peat sand mix, with lots of rocks. i have 2 large rocks (these are porous ocean rock, not very heavy) for hides and other small roacks scattered around.
