My scorpions

[ShyTeddyBear98]

This little stunner arrived earlier. I thought she'd be slow so I'd be able to get some really close detailed pics but because of the heat pack (NOT A COMPLAINT) she was ready and set to give me a nip should I get too close. I didn't even get a video of her as she found her cork bark and burrowed down in the sub.

I'm sure in the coming weeks & months I'll get to get some better pics. Probably whilst she's stuffing her face ha ha ha ha.

@ShyTeddyBear98 I knew I had 1 coming when I was commenting on your thread but I don't like typing anything until a new pet is actually here.

Brilliant to see. Did you get the medium or large sized one? Those are the kind of pictures I would have loved to have taken to prove their imperator.

I got a medium sized 1. I really thought I'd have been able to get some really good macro pics of her claws and eyes but there was no chance.

Mine is a medium size too. Looks like you got the defensive sibling . I can relate to your pain of your scorpion constantly moving, as mine wouldn't keep still when I tried looking through the clear pot to sex him/her.

My little rascal has burrowed right down and along. I'll see her when I see her.

Just a phone pic sadly but look at this little bugger. 3 segments of a mealworm = a meal bigger than the scorpion.

The baby Paravaejovis confusus are actually bigger than this little 1.

those babies are so quick... and actively hunting down their prey as well!

Oh yes. They're really fast little buggers.

Little rascal. Emphasis on little. My fingertip for scale in the last pic.

Yep. In the right hands it'd be capable of some astonishing pics. My lighting let's me down but I'm going to get myself a big light to help with that.
