Some new pics!

Heterometrus bengalensis babies after arriving to their new home!

Scorpio maurus stinging a cricket

S.maurus chelicerae are HUGE!

Euscorpiops karschi kind-of showing the aculear ring (ring between sting 'needle' and venom gland) which makes it Euscorpiops instead of Scorpiops

Very cool species! Especially, of course, the H. bengalensis.

Cheers mate, the adult males are really pretty, long long claws like an indian H.longimanus


Heres a pic i didn't realise I had!!
i always talk about the little bugs you get in your back yard soil which are perfect for killing mites
heres a pic of one!

they eat leftover food, and if you see them in a tank there are usually 0 mites to be found. also they dont 'aggregate' on the scorpion like mites do

Helpful little creatures! Tell them to keep up the good work.
You have a nice diversity of species. Do you know the locality for the Euscorpiops karschi?

The first species appears to be Isometrus maculatus and the last a Chaerilus spp., but what is the other species? Lychas infuscatus?

Nice. What is the substrate depth? It looks a little shallow.
