Odontorus dentatus, female with 2nd instar scorpions:

 

[jeroenkooijman]

Pandinus imperator


Buthus malhommei


Scorpio maurus


Heterometrus spinifer


Isometrus maculatus


Pandinus imperator


Hottentotta polysticus


Again Pandinus imperator


I have a lot more species of scorpions but these were the pictures I still had on my laptop

 

[H. cyaneus]

jeroenkooijman,

Nice scorpions, but I think your first P. imperator is actually a Heterometrus sp. And the H. spinfer looks like a male H. longimanus.

Opistophthalmus species.

H. cyaneus,
The spinifer is for sure spinifer. I have let other people take a good look at them.
They were bought as spinifer, and placing them next to my longimanus shows enough difference

The first Pandinus pic is a bit confusing, the claws are not really as long as they seem and far more Pandinus like.

BTW nice picture.

 

[H. cyaneus]

Ah okay, just now getting into the Heterometrus myself and trying to learn something.

I was actually looking at the telson. In the picture it looks black, maybe it's just the picture?

[jeroenkooijman]

Indeed in the picture it doesn't show the right colour.
But hey don't mind, if you have questions about one of myn pics you're always welcome to ask them.

recent pics,

my recently deceased H. Spadix

P. Trans juvie (male I'm pretty sure)

One C. Gracilis female in her new cage.

 

[jeroenkooijman]

Nice pictures, too bad about the spadix looked very nice.

 

[Raan_Jodus]

he was always active and a voracious eater, I can only hope to find another one like him sometime to fill his big tank. He was a hair shy of 5", so he was pretty big. I'm not sad about it, but he will be missed.

 

[H. cyaneus]

Opisthacanthus asper

Hi,

actually the female C. hentzi is a very small one, the male´s much bigger.

I´m having only a pair of T. fasciolatus, I started with 3 scorplings and luckily two of them reached maturity and turned out to be a pair.

I´m using a Ricoh Caplio GX.

So, are you saying they are siblings? Or is it a coincidence that you had tow scorplings of the same species? Did you buy them from the same dealer?? Did you look for scorplings from different dealers to breed??

Excuse my silly questions, but I'm just trying to know if I've missed something relevant about inbreeding in scorpions ( and I think I read somewhere that it was not really bad to mate siblings from different births , but I'm not sure about that too ).

To the best of my knowledge, inbreeding does not cause any severe abnormalities, if anything at all. This obviously isn't true of mammals, but is not an uncommon occurance in arachnids.

Gorgeous! is that a fresh moulted?

 

[ROBTILE]

nono, after the summer temperatures we had in Belgium last week it decided to snow today. So this scorpion decides to put her winter coat back on.

I think I have an adult couple of them right now
