This is my Parabuthus Radus Bi-Color. It is growing so fast. I can't believe how big it's gotten from a teeny tiny baby. I actually have 2 of them hoping I have a pair, I haven't tried sexing them yet, they are kinda crazy😂

Very pretty scorp, also very hot! The hottest species I own is a Centruroides margaritatus, also my only scorp atm. The only reason I have it is because someone decided they were too scared of it...I said I would take it off their hands.

All of my scorpions are hot in more ways than one, I do have a grumpy Asian forest scorpion though😂 she's my only non potentially life threatening species. I definitely don't mess with my scorpions, they are fun to watch however. I got stung by my baby Deathstalker which wasn't fun at all but at least it wasn't one of my adults from the Androctonus or Parabuthus species.

Scorpions sure are sneaky 🦂. The C margaritatus was definitely unplanned, but I do plan on acquiring some Paruroctonus boreus this summer and breeding them. I'm not too worried about them though, less medically significant than a bee sting.

I love how Androctonus and Parabuthus species look but I think I need more experience with scorps before biting the bullet.

My male Androctonus Australis is very docile but my fame is insane😂 so long as you don't get complacent with them you'll do OK.

wow that is a looker! Freshly moulted... Does it change much when it hardens? It has 2 interesting tubercules on the telson, which have a pair of stripes running from them.
Nice!

I have a picture from before molting they are a bit darker yet have that amazing contrast. Next to my Parabuthus Capensis and Hottentotta Franzwerneri this is in my top 3 favorite species.

I only had an emp once , and I’d get more someday if I knew more about them . But looking up how to care for desert hairy it sounded very challenging

I'd say 2-3" but I haven't really measured them.
