Let me see what I can do here...
Here's the first female, while digging a burrow. She is currently gravid. More pics of actual breeding will come soon. I think I have them all developed, though I know have at least one female. Keep in mind, a lot of the photo's quality has been lost due to resizing.

adios,
edw.
:D

This pic is right after the "dirty deed". I can't find the others, so I suppose I'll have to go get the other three rolls of film developed some time in the next couple days. Will get them posted asap. They should be a lot better quality.

adios,
edw. :D

WOW very interesting pics :) I prefer my non-spadix h. arizonensis ;)


Why on the second picture on the bottom there's 2 pincers at the left of the scorp (the one that looks like he's going under the rocks)?





Thanks, Frank

Actually, FranKQC, that's another scorpion under the wood. Another gravid female as a matter of fact. I currently keep a three female to one male ratio in 20 gal long tanks. All three females are gravid and two are probably dbl clutching in that one in particular. The male is the larger in the pic and female is the smaller on her way off the wood to eat some sand for the calcium content.


adios,
edw. :D

I'm gonna be a proud father!!! Again and again and again!!!

Oh okay, I've heard that H. arizonensis can be aggressive when kept with others (not always but it may happen) do you have any report of that?





Thanks, Frank

tonight as I was doing feeding and watering in my animal room I noticed at least two of the h. spadix have molted into third instars.

Congrats on your success...keep it up. If you can get them to 4th instar you will have accomplished something few people have managed,

UPDATE:
no more molts since my last post. several deaths, probably due to dessication. I still have several that are doing well. these guys are about 2 years old now. this one is finishing off a cricket.

Thanks for the update Ed...I have been wondering for awhile if you had any that were left...It's good to know that some are still alive.

I was reading in an old issue of Mascarino Tarantulas "Invertebrata" magazine last night (no longer published) that they have had success raising Desert Haries to maturity...I know everyone says its close to impossible- but it has bee done.

It didn't go into details, but mentioned to keep them just like the adults but with a little more humidity!

Good luck buddy- Desert Hairies are truely an amazing scorpion when you actually stand back and look at them!

Hmmm... this is great... so far.
The story is that getting them past third instar is extremely difficult and VERY rare.

Keep us posted and GOODLUCK! :D
