Oh i see, really cool! I just asked my frend if he has any for sale, hope he does at a good price :D
Theyre really tiny if you didnt see ;) like an inch or so long. Theresa from T inc showed me some of her stock. I'd love to have a hive of them like I do the sculpts.

Parabuthus liosoma


U. mordax - gravid


C. gracilis new brood


I LOVE THE COLORS! This latest female gave me some ridicuously good looking babies. Sarcastro, Envyizm, and Ken all got a share of the brood. This one is 4i.


L. quinquestratus 4i



Tityus stigmurus 3i


Androctonus australis 2i

Ah its okay. I just bought a new one today :D The $50 home depot 54" one, since my closet is too small for the 72" one. I'd recommend it. My buddy uses them too for his desert species so I figured I'd pick one up too.

The P. trans are hitting 4i! :D



C. gracilis
my favorite colorform

My favorite specie for a reason!


T. stigs, chillin. One just molted to 3i (not pictured)

Okay this isnt a scorpion but I recently picked this and the genic up for SUPER CHEAP.

she's such a calm sweetheart! never kicks!
T. stirmi

A. geniculata




OH YEAH, surprise! Two broods in the last 48 hours. Locals in Columbus Ohio will be getting these for free. Might sell more, or give them away on here too. All I know is everyone wants a colony :)

Our very own local,
U. mordax

Honestly. As much as i love the big massive theraphosa species... the genic is a great tarantula to have at that size... VEry impressive and still some color...

i'm itching to get these nhandu vulpines (Whatever they are now) this local petshop has.. Pretty good size, and seem pretty calm.

They've also gotten in some o. wahlberghi but they're a bit overpriced on both.

Yeah a buddy of mine got me back into T's. Annddd they're both incredibly calm, and dont kick at me! Or try to bite (knock on wood). Really increases their value in my eyes, especially when I prefer Avics :)

I've never kept o. wahlberghi. I wouldnt pay more than $15 each for them. (Then again that's just my opinion)

Never heard of that Nhandu specie.

Lucky you, I have a nhandu chromatus but she/he is fiesty! Will kick hair when rehousing, i just fed her and in an attempt to lure her out with a roach treat, she grabbed it from my forceps and ripped the poor thing into 2. Opistophthalmus wahlberghis are fantastic looking scorpions, i love their built! I find them very unique too, u shld get one. I shld get one haha :D.

sure thing.

The lamp on the left normally points to the bicolor and liosoma

LEFT TO RIGHT
top row: H. arizonensis juvi, P. liosoma slings, H. paucidens slings, P. trans slings, Tityus serralatus, H. caboverdensis slings, B. jacksoni slings
second row: S. polymorpha juvi, A. bicolor females, P. liosoma
third row: A. bicolor males, C. sculpt colonies in the back, H. caboverdensis adult, LQ's, A. australis slings, A. amourexi adults
final row: H. pallidus females (drying out the enclosures, new additions), Tityus stigmurus, C. gracilis adults (need new enclosure), R. junceus, C. gracilis slings
Bottom: B. lats, and B. dubia.



When I get my own place I'll be able to properly heat and arrange them. Just bought a new rack to put my T's on and this ones over capacity.
