Parabuthus transvaalicus

[ChrisNCT]

Keeping it simple.

This is a nice pair of Black Spitting Thick Tail Scorpions (Parabuthus transvaalicus). They did their mating ritual walking around holding claws. The male pulled her over the slate where he made his "deposit".

Pics show allot of the details....

Successful - YES
Any special care or preliminary notes for the lovers - feed the female and male a couple of times
pairing - i place the male in the female enclosure then wait for the mating dance and wait till they finish their thing
Any special post mating care -no special post mating care... I just feed the female right away and give her as long as she would take..
