I have some new scorpions and hope anybody can tell me what it is I think Centruroides but I'm not sure.

I would say a male C.margaritatus but without much conviction regarding margaritatus

Hi Tom

I think also it's Centruroides margaritatus

Hi Eric and Michael,

Any idea if this is a new colour morph ?? and where these come from ??

hi
if you check the "centruroides spp thread" Nikos posted some pics of this species (looks like it)

Hi George,

Thank you

Looks a bit like this one. This is from the same brood as the ones I sent Nikos and also Kim Arne last year. My female was bought as Tityus sp. from Honduras but I changed it to Centruroides sp. later on.
btw. it's pretty recently molted so it's a bit lighter than usual.

hehe, i handled my B.jacksoni after it had moulted too, its odd to hold a buthid, they are so light and "im better than you" er

mind you it was 2 days after the moult so there was no chance in hell it could even scratch me
u been stung by a cent Jim?

Oh yes, the mother of this one and a sister of his, and another C. marg I got.
The margaritatus are mostly the only ones I handle at all, the sting really doesn't feel much in my opinion.
