Thank you. The only problem is that now I have to wait 10 days until I can feed him.

Get ready for some picture spam!
some old pics I've never posted or want to repost!

Heterometrus mysorensis male, one of most beautiful scorpions I've had (i have a thing for claws!!)

Tityus obscurus, stupid to handle it back in the day, but it shows how slender they are

Buthus mardochei, i think, was never very much into Buthus species! and they're too dangerous for me nowadays

Euscorpius tergestinus (= carpathicus corsicanus, species may change) MALE

same sp, female, really nice tiger stripes

Euscorpius flavicaudis, really nice claws these guys have

 

[ShredderEmp]

Very nice! How did you find a Tityus obscurus? Those guys look so cool.

 

[G. Carnell]

Those guys were available a while back, but there were some problems breeding them
i had 10, they were all adult within 6 months but refused to breed so I traded em off around europe

pic of a female for comparison:

That looks like the scorpion is the superhero and roaches are evil villans and he's fighting them all off haha.

I5 H.alticola

these guys grow so fast -_- I bought them at I2 at the start of the summer, june ish IIRC

Really starting to show the pretty black colouring which made me want these guys!

 

[ShredderEmp]

Aesome! Great colors on those guys.

NOTE: I tried making albums on my photobucket, which then erased my images posted. MY PHOTOBUCKET HAS ALL PAST PICTURES - go here: http://s1048.photobucket.com/user/Rmcmugh/library/?sort=3&page=1

H.phipsoni final moult to adulthood

amazing how the claws change so much in a matter of hours

Rhopalurus junceus

These were shot with varying degrees of cross-polarized lighting which cuts reflections and often allows seeing through the exoskeleton of many arthropods.

Taken through a Nikon CFI60 10x microscope objective and focus-stacked.


Rhopalurus junceus, 1-inch



























Thanks for looking!

I always keep my camera ready to go when opening containers to check on things each day and was lucky to catch this right in the act almost sorry for the lil bit of blur I was in a rush to get the lid back on and store her in a dark room. Will upload a updated photo in a couple days.
