So I finally borrowed my brother's camera and took pics of all of my enclosures and scorpions that were out at the time, most of course as you all know are hiding lol.
Most pics are new, but I put some old ones in there too since most were hiding.
Here is my entire rack:
More to come soon enough 
, planning on a Andro Australis or P trans in the near future
That's all for now....Thanks for checking out my pics
BTW if anyone knows the code to do the drop down menus, so all the pics dont show up all at once let me know, I tried the tag it works on another forum but not on here.

This was my first scorpion I got back in January, I got him/her as a 3rd instar and now he/she is a 4th instar going onto 5th
Sausage with legs
New friends I picked up for him/her, I bought two, but he gave me a third as a freebie.
Three 2nd instar imps, 2/3 have molted to 3rd instar as of 6/18/2011, I cant find the 3rd at the moment, prolly molted too they are all part of the same brood, and the four of them are getting along great so far
Their new home a 10g tank with plenty of pre dug burrows, false bottom setup, a water fall, big pothos plant, and a piece of wood I found outside, they all managed to slip under the waterfall because of the way it sits lol. At first I was worried, but when I lifted it up, there is a big 'dip' in the substrate more then enough room for them to get in and out.

My 2nd scorpion, unfortunately his mycosis is getting worse and he's lost the use of one of his limbs, but hes still happy, fiesty, and eating
Doing what he does best
Mycosis spreading
His home 5 gallon tank with sand and excavator clay mixed and a greek pot for looks, I also ditched the cactus.

My third scorpion, thing was a beast when I saw him, and for 10 bucks I had to get him
I was gonna retake the pics, but he ran away when I opened the glass
His home is a 5.5 gallon Exo terra terrarium, I dig pothos plants.

My buddy I met in the hobby gave this little guy to me, it was in pre molt when I got it and it took over two months for it to finally molt, I guess this genus is very slow growing.
Here is a pic of it freshly molted
I havent really seen it since, it has made a giant tunnel system in his home and I have yet to see it come out
This one is in a 7x4x4 Acrylic container.
You can kinda see it in this pic.

This scorpion I bought just to buy, I went out to meet this person to buy a Babycurus Jacksoni and I had some extra money on me and decided what the hell?
Home, this guy likes to stay under that PVC pipe tunnel that I made, unfortunately I have not been able to take many pics of it, as it likes to burrow into the ground and stay hidden for months at a time.
Kinda see it here, these pics were taken two days after it molted, it has not come out from under the tunnel since.
Its home is a child size shoe box:

Always thought these guys looked cool, and when I had a chance to get one for 10 bucks, I jumped on it.
I think mine was a 3rd instar when I got it and it was in premolt too, the first scorpion I have ever had molt in my care, pretty neat.
This is also my first buthid, although it was a 3/5 on the scale a buthid is still a buthid.
I recently acquired a few more of these, so I have a colony of 7 sub adults now.
Freshly molted
Freshly molted again 6/19/2011, I had no idea it was in premolt, it didnt look fat or anything.
Coworker gave me this so I turned it into my new colony

Another beastly looking scorpion that was a must have for me
She has gone into hiding after introducing her to her new home and rarely comes out if at all :/
Home is a 5.5 gallon Exo terra terrium:

Saw this little fiesty guy at a new pet store I came across in my area, quick, vicious, and cool to watch.
It went missing for over a month, so I decided to dig it out and found it near the bottom, with its exo-skeleton right next to it, guess it molted the previous day.
Home, it comes out to say hi or to snag the cricket every once and a while, 7x4x4 container

Got this guy at the same pet store as above, I totally dig the ghostly white color it has, and this guy is vicious and quick as hell, always fun to watch when feeding.
Sadly I dont have any pics of it out, as it likes to snag the food and go into hiding, but it has rearranged the entire enclosure, digging tunnels closing them up and then digging them up again lol.
Home, child's shoebox:
You cant see me!

One of the pet stores was asking 80 bucks for this guy, then I decided to goto the pet store I most frequent and they had this huge shipment of scorpions and this guy was among them for 35 bucks .
Big step for me since it is a 4/5 on the scale and I think it is a adult male as well.

This gal looks awesome, shes got huge claws and stings her prey. I am pretty sure I have a female, and she 'might' be gravid, when she climbs the glass, I take a look at her 'belly' and I see small white 'bulbs' inside her, though they might just be her guts lol
Her Home is a 2.5 gallon tank, with repti-black sand and coco fiber and a false bottom setup, I pour about 10oz of water in there twice a month and I do a light mist in the corner. She has made a tunnel in the sand under the skull of all places ;P.

Yep, I stepped it up to a whole new level when I decided to get one of these guys, I got a deal on another forum for a 3i LQ for 10 bucks, it is in premolt right now and I have been hot boxing and power feeding just to get to the next instar.
I like the black spot on the tail
After Molt pics and him in his new 2.5g home.
Molted to 5th on 7/22, then 6i on 8/31, never got pics of him during 5i

I also got this guy as a freebie along with the third imp, enclosure included . It is about 1.5 years old, 1.5 inches.
I have seen three of these at two different pet stores up here, and they were always messed up, like for example two of them when brought out in the light to take a better look started tripping up, bending in wierd directions and flattening their tail out, and the other one had mycosis on its back legs and barely was able to use them.
This guy seems to be in perfect health.
Housed in a 4x4x4 cube:
