Identify this guy?

[Curry]

Not sure what he is exactly. I'm not that great when it comes to identifying.

 

[P. Novak]

looks like some kind of Heterometrus spp.

 

[Arachnophilist]

Definately.. cant say which kind.. but Heterometrus sp. for sure

 

[Thaedion]

I agree with the others here is a link to help ID Common Heterometrus by G. Carnell, it seems to have to do with the granulation.

 

[Michiel]

looks like a small H.longimanus, but i am not sure........

 

[Alakdan]

Based on the smooth carapace pictured above. My guess is H. laoticus, but it's is still hard to tell. I'm also guessing your scorp is only 3rd instar.

[Curry]

Yea after looking at that thread I guess thats what I have. Thanks for the help everyone =D

 

[G. Carnell]

laoticus/petersii if you ask me

 

[EAD063]

laoticus/petersii if you ask me

I zoomed in the best I could and saw no granulation on the caprice, therefore, I am almost certain G is right with laoticus.

 

[G. Carnell]

Hey EAD063

remember that granulation develops with subsequent moults.. one of the reasons why Heterometrus and Pandinus are indistinguishable at lower instars is due to the lack of granulation on the claws, common in pandinus


also: according to Kovarik, the elongaton of claws is seen at later instars in the case of H.longimanus, i believe

Curse juveniles, thankfully I Have adults . Thanks G

how long does it take for 3i emps or forests scorpions to reach adulthood?. coz my scorpions look like that size.

It depends on the temp. of your enclosure. With powerfeeding, it will be an adult in 12-14 months.

I'm feeding him till he gets fat, I have him in high heat as well. So far so good. He's been through 3 molts i believe.
