My collection w/ pictures

[neubii18]

I finally got my last batch of scorpions in for the month,so I can finally post my first scorpion collection picture thread!I am currently focusing on the fat tail scorpions(Andrctonus sp. and Parabuthus sp.).I am close to having all the sp. in the US hobby.I believe all I need are Androctonus mauretanicus(Which I'm getting 2 3i next month),Androctonus craussicauda,and Parabuthus transvaalicus.Please let me know if there are any other fat tail species in the US hobby that I need.Anyways,without further rambling on,here is my collection:

1.2 Parabuthus leiosoma(both girls look gravid!)

Male:

Female #1:

Female #2:

1.1 Androctonus australis

Male:

Female:

0.0.1 Androctonus bicolor(I think I have a pair though)Any ideas on what instar they are?

Only got a picture of 1,but they are both the same size:

0.1.0 Hotenttotta hotenttotta

Female:

I also have 0.0.4 2i Hotenttotta judaicus and a 2i Hotenttotta hotenttotta that are too small to get good pictures of...but when they are large enough,I will post them!

Thanks for looking!Please let me know what you think of my collection so far!

No clue. I'm hoping some will tell you. My famale is really getting big, either a molt or a brood.

Androctonus bicolor

8-9 cm.

Pectines of the female with 19 to 24 teeth, male's ones with 23 to 29 teeth.

I think the bicolor are adult, because of the size of their metasoma.
It is really fat and in lower instars it's quite smaler.

The A.bicolor looks adult to me, same reasons as Leo gave....Female 1 of P.liosoma does not look gravid to me btw, female 2 maybe, but nr. 1 is too slim (well, as far as I can see from the angle of this picture)...
Nice collection of dust devils

She looks even moreso than the other,she is just up in defense posture,which makes her look skinnier.

i will trade/purchase the hell outta any P. liosoma babies you get

 

[neubii18]

I'll hook you up GromGrom.You've been a big help to me!I'll let you know when I get them.Ken The Bug Guy said he sent me 2 he thought were gravid,and said he's had a couple popping,so they could pop any day!

I will.They are really cool,and probably the most aggressive species I've owned next to A.australis.
