B.Jacksoni
C.Gracilis
T.sylvestris
Other


What does everyone think is the most appealing and beautiful scorpion, with best color variations?

I have C.Gracilis, and b.jacksoni shown below, very beautiful,

 

[G. Carnell]

personally, i like the Costa rican C.marg morph! ;p

 

[The Juice]

I voted for B.Jacksoni, The are the best looking Scorp I've seen so far especially when they are you & have red & black camo.

I'm partial to vivid reds, I would definately like to see a specimen of Alacran tartarus in real life some day( http://www.ub.ntnu.no/scorpion-files/a_tartarus.jpg ) , perhaps even own one, but since they only live in a series of caves in (I think) a national park that probably won't happen, even removing a single specimen probably would be bad for the population also. Back to the topic, B.jacksoni and P.cavimanus are on about the same page with me.

 

[BaronFel181]

Hmmmm, Tityus ocelote or Centruroides arctimanus methinks.

I have limited experiance with many specis of scorp, but My 2 Emps, are beautifull. Both jet balck, utill the sun or strong light hits them, them my male is a great emerald green, and my female has a dark red almost brown sheen to her.

 

[ScorpDemon]

my female has a dark red almost brown sheen to her.

could be coming up on a molt.

my vote went for B. jacksoni

 

[bengerno]

A freshly molted Rhopalurus junceus.

 

[Pandora]

My fav colors are black&yellow like Centruroides bicolor and red&brown like B.jacksoni.
I have three B.jacksoni, they are very beautiful.

I've been partial to Opistophthalmus karrooensis for a while. You always have to be careful evaluating the appearance of scorpions based on photographs, but there are four pictures on Scorpion Files from three different sources and all four pics show the bold contrast in colour. Unfortunately, the potential for these becoming available is slim and even if specimens did appear in the pet trade, they would most certainly be illegally obtained.

[fleshstain]

i used to love the flat black color of my the A. mauritanicus i used to have....she was built perfect too....long thin pincers....narrow and slim body....HUGE tail....and a tiny lil stinger that you almost couldn't see....

 

[Jmadson13]

R. junceus for sure

 

[jojobear]

Rhopalurus junceus so I voted other.

 

[JSN]

pssh, its all about the A.A. hector morph...

 

[CopperInMyVeins]

Tityus ocelote, lots of pretty ones out there, but this is about the wildest looking I've seen.

[musihuto]

i voted b. jacksoni... from a slightly more objective perspective, i would say t. sylvestris is equally appealing. personally though, i like red a lot better than blue! i'm also a huge fan of h. jayakari salei!

- munis

 

[Scorpfanatic]

fresh moult lychas scutilus? haha a

 

[HackoDis]

Black allllllll the way baby.....

My emperor is an awesome black, it's a little scary. It's not goosebumbs or anything else with the other species.

Plus it's more exciting to see them own there prey ;P

 

[Normski2020uk]

Haveing just witnessed my first Emp moult, i have to say that pure/briliant white coulour is amazing. If only you could get pur whit scorps!!!
