Scorpion Picture Thread

[Arthroverts]

@Arachnid Addicted, do you have any full enclosure pictures? Your setups seem to be quite interesting (or maybe it's just the way the substrate looks ) just from the closeups of the specimens.

Thanks,

Arthroverts

I dont have pics of full enclosure, cause I always use a macro lens, which makes difficult to shot wide angles. But my setups are basic, garden soil, a hide and water. Lol.

I will be getting a Hottentotta jayakari, a Androctonus australis "hector" tunisia, a
Hottentotta hottentotta caboverdensis and a Hottentotta flavidulus in 2 weeks.
I might also get a Leiurus jordanensis, Not sure yet. I'm still trying to find a Hadogenes troglodytes. I saw so many of them this year at all the expos I've been to and now that decided to get one, nothing.

Love these little guys. This was my 1st scorpion, sadly it was wild cought and died of old age, I believe. I would definitely love to get some of these CBB if I can find some locally.

 

[Arthroverts]

@Arachnid Addicted, I know that the stigmurus, serrulatus, and obscurus are all potentially deadly, but is the venom on any of the others also potentially lethal? I ask because I would like to acquire some more Tityus but info on their venom is very limited for species outside of the few well-known deadly ones.

Many thanks,

Arthroverts
