Hello,

I might be mistaken but the second picture looks more like a deathstalker, Leiurus quinquestriatus. If it is then you had better be wary as it can be potentially deadly, unlike a Centruroides exilicauda.

Hello Sir,

Thanks for that.. the second one has a long slender tail. I've observe it every time it runs around . I don't dare to handle anything the is "scorpion" :D

Thanks again. I will be much cautious with it then.

Cheers

Hi Morgan,

I think you're quite right. I jumped to the LQ conclusion too soon right after seeing the black metasomal segment. LQs are usually more yellow and skinny looking-I had thought it might be in pre-molt or something, but it didn't look right.

I stand corrected. :)

One of our locals

Hello,

This is one of our local here in Philippines. I don't know what is its scientific name. My cousin caught this in his dress cabinet and gave to me since he knew i have a pet scorpion.

Hope you like it. It doesn't eat the grasshopper i gave. What do you suggest?

Figured people might like this since you don't see too many of them in the hobby.

Centruroides elegans. Unfortunately I just got the one male that hitched a ride in someone's luggage.

Had some fun with a UV light and a Hottentotta judaicus :)

The two close ups are just cropped in from another image, I love the detail UV manages to capture.
