Cool new scorpions Christopher! How many did you pick up on the weekend?
The Hottentotta hottentotta are very nice looking. Are they all babies still?

Holy Moly! That is alot of scorpions! Maybe I'll take you up on that B. jacksoni sling after all! lol!:D

It's neat that you get pictures of yours eating, I've never seen my little ones eating, they must do it when I'm not looking. Silly bugs.

Oh, I love the pic of the three little ones eating in their vials side by side, that is too cute! :)

Awesome sequence! Another reason for breeding scorps.

So have you gotten yours to eat mealworm pupae? I've never tried.

I love the first shot. Looks almost buthid like. Those mealworm larvae are a blast from the past. When I first starting keeping geckos about a decade ago, those things freaked the hell out of me!! :D

I have found (Through a friend of mine) that they are an excellent way to get your scorps to feed ALOt because there is no capture involved they can gorge without the extra effort and it is the safe way for me to feed while some of the 9 spinifers I have communaly are in premolt.

Nice pics, I guess this is not one that needs bark to molt on like most of mine? How big do these get?

H.spinifers can get 4-5" normally I think.. they could get larger but I dont think its common.

You will probably find out quickly that the M tamulus are alot easier to raise than H hott. ;)

excellent cause the H.hott are pretty easy to please so far! :D the M.tamulus and H.hott both seem to be good eaters. my female M.tamulus should be molting fairly soon I think.. so many subadults! lol I need an adult B.jack and C.gracilis so I can actually have some adult pairs:D
