Here are pics of my current kids. Sorry if they aren't the "best" pics. I was using a +7 macro lens (only 2" away) and I obviously didn't want to get tagged being so close to them so I backed off to +4 (about 4" away). I took them free hand cause my tripod wouldn't bend down far enough for me to focus:

Leirus quinquestritatus:

Androctonus australis:

Paruroctonus boreus:

Vaejovis Spinigerus

Those the guys I sent you?? If so, they are looking good. You may have some gravid females in there by the way..

 

[Murziukas]

Yes Brandon - those are the ones Lovely scorpions, I really enjoy observing them. If I'm right - there was only one female from the survivors, but hopefully she will live long and will give me something to be proud about.

 

[brandontmyers]

Well, I will def. work on getting a few more guaranteed females for you.

I wish I had a lil colony of these guys, lol. I've never owned an american scorp so far, not sure though, I love how tiny they are! I looked for two nights while I was out in Vegas (I'm from Pa) for these guys, along with the bark and hairy and found ZERO of any kind. Although I did find about 8 female black widows chillin in a local park in Henderson one night.

Man, how do you guys get such nice shots?! Mine are always somewhat blurry or just not that nice looking, lol. Anyway here is my fat hopefully gravid femal Centruroides vittatus named Isis, one of the 5 I just got in, as well as another chilling by the heating closest to the camera in the last shot.

Mine almost always don't look good, I take 150 pictures to get 10 - 15 good ones just takes patience !


That female looks very gravid to me !

Vaejovis Spinigerus

I want some Vaejovis Spinigerus

 

[Xaranx]

Yeah it isn't easy, I took a a dozen to get that one b. jacksoni shot. Just practice, the best camera is the one you use and know the most. MP doesn't mean so much above 3-5.
