Hi,

@Tom: Shortly before a female gives birth it should be kept alone. If it gives birth while being kept with others the youngs will be eaten.

@errit: In H. j. salei one can see no difference in the pedipalps in the sexes like it is for example with H. trilineatus or H. hottentotta where the males have more bulbous chelae (at least with my specimens).

Greetings
Alex

@ Vardoulas : :rolleyes: Are you sure this is a Salei ?? I hope I'm not the only one who's thinking this is a Hottentotta jayakari! H.j.salei have only the last 2 segments and the telson black collered. H.jayakari have 3-4 segments + telson black collered.

also does H.j.salei have only black pedipalps and yellow 'arms' !
H.jayakari have black pedipalps but also black arms !!

I hope you can understand me!!!

But offcoarse that don't make any differents. You have a beautiful scorpion which you can be very proud on !!! :D

fine with me ;)
I have 2 of them so let's hope the they are indeed h.j.j. and are male/female :)

however there wasn't too much light when I took the photo.

the enclosure is a plastic round deli cup around 10+ cm in diameter.

I have seen that you have that small to many species. How small are the scorps you keep in this size of deli cup?

this one is about 4 cm long. Do not thing that they need bigger enclosures...in my opionion it's a waste of space since they never use it.

well just looked in my records and indeed the hottentottas I have are H.jayakari jayakari... I think I had them wrongly labeled from the beginning since the guy who sent them to me clearily mentioned that they were H.jayakari jayakari...

Sorry for messing the thread with wrong photos :(
