I understand cbf is a wild species, f1-2-3 is the offspring.
But I don't understand the numbers 1.0 1.1

I bought A.australis tunisia hector which is more expensive than regular price. The seller says it's 1.0 mature. Can someone please educate me on this genetic number, it's 0.0 1.0 1.2, what's the order of magnitude?

0.0.0 as in male.female.unsexed.

So if it is 2.0.0, it’s 2 males available.

And if it is 1.3.15, then it’s 1 male, 3 females, 15 unsexed available.

I understand that F1 is the child version of cb correct?

CB stands for captive bred.F1, F2, etc represents generations from wild caught parents. So F1 would be the first generation (produced in captivity) from wild caught parents. F2 would be the offspring of F1's.

Ok,thx cb is therefore more expensive because natural pedigree is stronger, F2-3 is weaker.

CB is more expensive because someone has way more invested in producing those offspring. Time, food, housing, heating/cooling etc. Plus the cost of obtaining the original wc breeding stock.
Wild caught is usually pretty cheap to obtain. They may look expensive at your local pet store, but most exotics are pretty cheap as wild caught.

Also, captive bred scorpions promise healthy and perfect specimens. Wild caught scorpions can be and often are imperfect, may have mycosis infections, or are simply old specimens. The coloration of old scorpions will darken and become duller. However wild caught scorpions should still be breedable.
