V. spinigeris anyone?

I was happy when I saw one of my females recently popped. Now I'm looking at six and they each have a LOT of babies. I've also got three H. spinifer with babies. I'm used to the B. jacksoni pumping them out like this, but this new group is due to moving the scorps to a hotter room... wish I'd done this before.

wow, botar, from the looks of it, you have alot of work on your hands there...

 

[Botar]

LOL... I've ALWAYS got a lot of work on my hands. That isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

Looks familiar...

I had 3 WC V. spinigerus some time back, and got an eye opener when I was looking at the same situation you face now. All 3 turned out to be gravid females. Do they have huge clutches or what? LOL...Talk about flooding the market with a species, huh? Don't you wish those were Apistobuthus pterygocercus? :drool: "Ka...Ching"

Botar are you sure thats a spinifer? Cant see any red in the telson.. and claws look quite large and not as elongated as I would have expected?

Looks a lot like my H. Laoticus

Thats a spinifer for sure, it is uncommon for a spinifer to have red in the telson, It is black.

Botar- is the scorp spp list updated on your site? thanks bro.

cheers

Babycurus jacksoni sub-adult female.

 

[ScorpDude]

That spinny looks very very dry :s

 

[Botar]

I've had some questions on the ID, but I've not had anyone say with any authority that it is anything but H. spinifer... and yes, it was very dry... I was feeding/watering at the time the pics were taken. A lot of stuff dried out while I was gone to the conference.
